Mobile Communications For Social And Environmental Benefits.

A few days ago I wrote about the fact that wikis are actually changing knowledge management for the better. Here’s another example.

Today I was lead to a blog that reports on an interesting initiative ShareIdeas.org.

ShareIdeas.org is an online community and a wiki for sharing ideas on how to use mobile communications for social and environmental benefits.

ShareIdeas.org was created with support from Nokia and Vodafone, but belongs to the growing global network of individuals and organizations that use this virtual gathering place to communicate – and collaborate.

The idea for ShareIdeas.org came from Ndidi Nwuneli, founder and CEO of LEAP Africa, a Nigerian NGO dedicated to nurturing a new generation of African leaders.

Groups like ours would really benefit from a resource that shows us how to use mobile technology to carry out our work more effectively,” said Ndidi at a Nokia stakeholder event of NGO and corporate leaders.

ShareIdeas.org was created in response to Ndidi’s request.

Subjects vary from reporting Child Rights Violations to Mobile Learning.
