THE COMMUNITY KNOWLEDGE CENTRE (CKC) MODEL

We utilizes the CKC model to partner with civil society organizations to implement and scale impactful programs

Understand the CKC Model

A CKC is a community centre with digital tools that will provide varying services. The CKC will be owned by local partners and offer local resources. The CKC is a place where community members can access the Internet, learn practical and creative skills, begin a program, and finish with a digital portfolio containing a skills checklist, writing samples, a resume, work qualifications and media documentation in the form of photos and short films.

What is the purpose of the training?

The purpose of the training is to empower individuals to understand their needs and opportunities, and those of the community. This includes access to the basic technology tools to improve the quality of life and the thinking skills necessary to integrate relevant information into their lives.
