Beginning
on January 11, 2011, Rising Voices is launching the latest
round of microgrant
funding and is now accepting project proposals
from NGOs or individuals for
funding of up
to $4,000 USD for digital media
outreach projects around the
world. Ideal applicants will present
innovative and detailed proposals to teach
citizen media techniques
to underrepresented communities that are poorly
positioned to discover
and take advantage of tools like blogging, video
blogging or podcasting on their own.
|
Rising Voices, an outreach initiative of Global Voices,
aims to help
bringing new voices from new communities and speaking new
languages to the global conversation. Rising Voices provides resources
and funding
to local groups reaching out to underrepresented communities.

KM Core, located in Kyiv, Ukraine, develops and commercializes
emerging technologies in Eastern Europe as well as countries emerging from the USSR.
However, KM Core’s investment activities are not limited to CEE and CIS. Company
looks
for opportunities which bridge the gap between East and West with
participation of local intellectual capital in the development,
adaptation and introduction of innovative technologies.

The high technology investment holding KM Core has participated in the
Fourth Roundtable on Philanthropy held annually by
the Viktor
Pinchuk Foundation in Davos (Switzerland) that is traditionally held
during the Annual World Economic Forum Meeting. The discussion has centered
on the role of philanthropists in the
modernization of society by means of modern art.
The artists
Jeff Koons, Olafur Eliasson, Damien Hirst, Richard
Armstrong (Director, Solomon
R. Guggenheim Foundation and Museum
(USA)), H.E. Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad
bin Khalifa Al-Thani
(Chairperson, Qatar Museums Authority Board of Trustees
(Qatar)) and
Bernardo Paz (modern art museum "Inhotim” under the open sky in
the Brazilian
jungle) have took part in the discussion led by Brazilian writer
and poet Paulo Coelho.
