AppfricaThese stories tell us of an Africa which is engaging with the internet, and learning from it, on its own terms. We have supported these storytellers to keep digital diaries in the run-up to Lusaka, in which using whatever technology they have access to, they record the story of their digital engagement.

At Lusaka we present their stories, analyse their online experiences, and unveil a website on which Africans can add their own expressions of their informal internet learning, use of mobile phones, and software tools

Click on any of the subpages to read their stories. Subject to sponsorship, we will bring some of these people to Lusaka to talk in the first person, with pride, about their online stories.
