Participatory Learning and Action 59 Change at hand: Web 2.0 for development

Jon Corbett, Guy Singleton and Kado Muir describe how a joint project with the Aboriginal Walkatjurra Cultural Centre in Australia, Curtin University of Technology and the University of British Columbia Okanagan have been exploring the use of Web 2.0 tools to help revitalize culture and enhance community development. This article explores how the use of Web 2.0 and other digital tools has contributed towards this aim - and how using the tools helped to positively engage youth in such activities.
