More than half of Europeans are now regular Internet users, 80% of them have broadband connections and 60% of public services in the EU are fully available online. Two thirds of schools and half of doctors make use of fast Internet connections, thanks to strong broadband growth in Europe. These are the findings of a Commission report on the results achieved so far with i2010, the EU’s digital-led strategy for growth and jobs. The strategy, agreed in 2005, has led to a firm commitment to promoting ICT at EU and national levels. As of 2007, all Member States consider ICT development as one of the main achievements in their structural reform programmes. In parallel, the EU institutions have encouraged the building of a single market for online services and increased research funding. A single market for telecoms, promoting cross-border communication services, is, however, still in the making.

European Children’s Radio EuChiRa, a multilingual Internet Portal linking to European partnership projects is on the way. In cooperation with the Media Education Center in Belgrade (Serbia) we will produce six radio-shows between primary schools in Germany and different areas of former Yugoslavia. After the summer holidays six classes in London and six in Berlin will start cooperating together on projects. Already on air (in German) is the first broadcast produced in partnership with various schools and a radio station in Raciborz/Poland and Berlin. The Internet Portal EuChiRa is also open to sponsored partnership projects, like for example, by the EU program „Commenius” - the first broadcasts in German and English produced from partnerships between schools in Bavaria, Italy, Spain and Ireland are finished.

If you are a child aged 6-18 years, live in Africa, and have made any moving image (film, video, television programme, computer game, animated photographs, etc), then Kids for Kids Africa invite your film to Nairobi, Kenya.

If you are an audiovisual media trainer or teacher working with children and youth in any part of Africa, or if you are a parent in Africa and know any child who has made a film, Kids for Kids Africa would like you to assist such children in submitting their creations to its 2nd all-Africa competition in Nairobi, Kenya.
