e-Dialogue for Sustainable Development

Check out this neat website... http://crcresearch.org/research-tools/e-dialogues/e-dialogues

The e-Dialogues research project attempts to push internet communication technologies (ICTs) to be forces of light rather than dark. They are designed to stimulate substantive dialogue between leading academics and diverse audiences, including the public policy community. Our objectives are to stimulate dialogue around critical sustainable development issues; to use and evaluate electronic dialogue as a tool to increase literacy, both scientific and social, around specific sustainable development issues; to determine if e-Dialogues can inform public policy development, and to determine the efficacy of this medium for building points of consensus for governments. Ultimately, our vision is to have listeners who would 'tune in' to an e-dialogue, similarly as you would tune into a radio program, such as CBC's Ideas.
