Semi-Literate Mekong women learn using video compact discs
dot-EDU is using low-cost video compact discs (VCD) to help reach at-risk youth in South East Asia in this core-funded pilot activity. The project is designed to gauge the success of applying this versatile and ubiquitous technology to meet critical learning needs of young women who cross the Mekong in search of a more exciting and financially rewarding life in Thailand.
The activity is developing two VCDs containing "edu-tainment" style content related to the realities faced by these young women. Two local NGOs, PADETC and Pattanarak, who currently work directly with these women on both sides of the border, are partnering with dot-EDU to help produce and implement the VCDs in their outreach programs, evaluating their effectiveness at helping these women make better informed choices.
