The main idea is to show what is happening in the region, which networks could be linked and establish initial contacts with amazing experiences.</p> <p>The Latin America region has a long tradition of social and political movements, but with the use of technology the possibilities have grown. Now, it' is common to find political advocacy movements that use social networks and independent media. We also find artists and designers working together with engineers and technicians to solve social problems using bottom-up approaches; and many other spaces where people share their experiences and become a network.</p> There are other people, communities and organizations doing the same type of work and having amazing and innovative experiences throughout the Global South, but these often don't know each other. Therefore, in order to build more effective networks between these projects, this presentation will be a first point of contact with several initiatives, ideas and people of Latin America. <h3><br /></h3> <h3>Karisma Foundation and Right, Internet and Society Group</h3> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Karisma Foundation</strong> is a civil society organization founded in 2003 and located in Bogotá, Colombia.
