The first in a series of four workshops on the use of social media for community activists and youth took place on Aug. 2 at the Phnom Penh Institute of Technology. The first workshop covered the basics of the internet – what it is and how it can be used – as well as how to set up e-mail accounts with secure passwords. Although the workshop experienced one of the many challenges to accessing the internet in Cambodia – a power cut – all participants said they learnt something new and were keen to attend the next workshop (and do their homework in between!).
