Launch of Cairo Center and organization of three workshops:

Virtual Activism formally launched the Center for Knowledge Society which is its branch center in Cairo, Egypt in June 04, following the launching of its website mengos.net in January 04. One of its first projects is a series of three workshops that were conducted in an informal settlement in Cairo, with ten participants in each workshop. Each workshop lasted 2 days, and participants learnt how to access the Internet, send email, conduct searches for relevant information, and access useful sites. The workshop instructor was Doaa Hassan, the Center's asisstant.
