LEONARDO/OLATS Announces Discussion of Mediterranean Region Digital 
Education Issues on YASMIN

On YASMIN (www.media.uoa.gr/yasmin), Ricardo Mbarak of Beirut, Lebanon 
will organize an e-discussion during the month of July about the 
following topics:

1 - What are the needs (material, cultural, etc.) of digital art 
educators in Mediterranean Rim countries, especially in Northern 
Africa and in the Middle East?

2 - Discussion of the context of these countries--the differences 
compared to the situation in southern Europe (socio-political and 
technological environment, etc)

3 - The difficulties encountered when teaching digital art in these 
specific contexts (censorships, economy, religions, etc)

A number of invited guests will be leading the discussion.
