The participating youth in the "I Can, We Can" project have developed an online platform for volunteers in both Lattakia and Homs. The idea have come when the research team found in focus group results that there is a volunteering issue in the society, so the project participants tried to find a solution to address this issue using ICT.

Youth in Technology for Community Development organized a dissemination day in Sana'a on Wednesday 5 May 2010.

During the event, the project team presented the findings of their research, and launched their latest report: "Youth in Technology for Community Development".

Here are some photos from the event, and the press coverage:
