People In Ecological Hot Spots of Armenia, Make Your Voice Heard

Selecciona la fase que describa mejor el momento en el que se encuentra tu solución

Crecimiento (tu iniciativa piloto ya se está aplicando y se empieza a expandir)

¿Cuánto tiempo se lleva poniendo en práctica tu iniciativa?

Operando menos de un año

LA NECESIDAD: describe la necesidad de implementar tu solución y el tamaño y el dinamismo de la comunidad o las comunidades con las que vayas a colaborar

A new model for network of bloggers in hot ecological regions has been set up. The new ideology of network functioning is currently in development progress, so as to concentrate the works of different hot lines directed to solve certain environmental problems. Now the network includes 24 communities where 24 webpages have been created within 5 months. Each webpage is used by a group of local bloggers: 10 more communities are planned to involve in the network and to create 10 more webpages.

LA SOLUCION: explica qué ofrece tu solución y por qué es innovadora. ¿Cómo se pondrá la solución a disposición de usuarios o beneficiarios? Se valorará la exactitud de la respuesta.

The innovation we propose is that we create hotlines for communities in single information space on www.ecolur.org/blog where there are risks for health and environment. We give an opportunity to local people to share news and express their opinions on community webpages so as these opinions are taken into consideration by people taking decisions. The blog activities are supplemented with professional video and photo materials and news on www.ecolur.org, the materials are disseminated on Facebook and Twitter, published in the mass media in the form of press releases.

EL MODELO: explica con un ejemplo específico la forma en que la solución marca una diferencia mediante la utilización de medios y tecnología de la información.

This project uses all the facilities of multi-media technologies - www.ecolur.org news and informational website where environmental news and analytic materials are published, www.ecolur.org/blog blog, here you can find 24 web pages of communities in hot spots, where the locals express their ideas and upload photo and video materials under working project “Make Your Voice Heard”, work with socially active movement groups on Facebook and Twitter,press releases for the mass media with exclusive materials based on the alarm signals from hot spots: the mass media is EcoLur’s beneficiary, as it uses and makes use of the website and blog informational resources.

EL MERCADO: ¿quiénes son tus colaboradores o competidores? ¿Qué retos podrían presentar estos competidores para el éxito o desarrollo de tu iniciativa?

EcoLur is the moderator of the network for bloggers and a partner for all its participants. Many mass media work with the regions and have their own correspondents who prepare news materials. Only EcoLur network can give local people the opportunity to express their own opinion in operative manner and to raise alarm signals: EcoLur expands the audience of the alarm signal, as well as addresses the alarm signal to decision making persons and publishing the response to the alarm signal.

HISTORIA DE FONDO: queremos conocer tu momento de inspiración. Comparte con nosotros la historia del lugar y el momento en que el fundador o los fundadores llegaron a la conclusión de que su solución podría cambiar el mundo.

On Sotq webpage, www.ecolur.org/blog, the campaign is run against disposing production facilities by Geopromining Company into Sevan drainage basin. Sevanis the water priority of Armenia, which has 34 billion square meters of freshwater reserves and is protected by Armenian Law “On Lake Sevan”. The company operates in contrary to this and other Armenian laws, the Armenian President’s political will expressed in autumn 2009 and in contrary to the conclusion issued by the Supervisory Chamber by the Armenian Parliament, where it says the Public Prosecutor’s Office should start investigating the activities of Geopromining Company. Sotq Villagers signed a letter of protest against the activities of Geopromining Company and were supported by Dilijan Town residents through EcoLur blog and social networks (see Dilijan webpage in the blog and materials in “Sevan” section on www.ecolur.org). The network has called on other activists in hot spots to support Sotq villagers.

Especifica tanto el alcance como la escala del impacto social de tu solución hasta la fecha.

We are trying to help people who, as a result of the high risks of corruption in the sphere of nature, deprived of water, territory, and whom do not pay compensation for allowing their habitat.

¿Qué impacto esperas que tenga tu iniciativa en los próximos 1-5 años? ¿Es una idea aplicable a otros ámbitos? En caso afirmativo, ¿cómo se podría aplicar?

The population learns how to protect its interest without directly clashing with heads, who may exercise pressure on them and get support from other regions, NGOs and social groups. This has a positive vector of development within the next 1-2 years. Five years is rather a large period for forecasting results taking into consideration rapid technological progress in multi-media technologies. We will likely master new opportunities and incorporate them into our project. What about idea repeatability, the module developed by us can be used in other thematic areas such as human rights protection or gender. Just external information parameters should be adapted to the specific topic.

¿Qué obstáculos han dificultado el éxito de tu proyecto hasta la fecha? ¿Cómo tienes pensado superar estos y otros obstáculos al ir desarrollando tu solución?

The main barrier is non-stable funding, which is allotted in the form of grants. Armenia like other countries in transition period has no existing practice of donation for public interests. We are seeking to overcome this barrier by opening EcoLur branch in the countries where such practice is available and to find a partner interested in setting up the first public environmental internet television.

¿Cómo valoras el cambio en los sectores de medios de comunicación y tecnología de la información en la próxima década? ¿Cómo se adaptará tu solución a este entorno cambiante? ¿Cómo podría impulsar tu solución esos cambios?

We see the development in mobile communications, which assumes more and more of functions from multi-media technologies and which is suitable for rapid response.

El fracaso no es siempre una opción. Si tu solución no funciona en los dos próximos años, ¿qué otras aplicaciones de la idea podrías investigar?

Our modules give an opportunity to get adapted to the particular situation. If there are no conditions for setting up public television, we will use non coast-based technologies, for example, the work with blogs based o SMS and MMS messages, information exchange through Facebook and Twitter.
