Welcome to the Community Networks Learning Space
This platform is a dynamic space created to support the growth and sustainability of Community Centered Connectivity Providers also known as Community Networks worldwide. CCCP’s are locally managed initiatives that leverage technology to address the unique communication and connectivity needs of their communities, fostering autonomy, self-determination, and meaningful connectivity. By democratizing internet access, they contribute to social cohesion, cultural preservation, and economic development, bridging the digital divide and empowering communities to thrive.
This learning space serves as a centralized hub for resources, training materials, and curated learning paths, offering knowledge and tools to build, manage, and sustain community networks. It is designed to be accessible, fostering collective learning and collaboration among community members, practitioners, and stakeholders.
