What is Communities 2.0?

Communities 2.0 (pronounced Two Point Zero) aims to help individuals, communities and social enterprises in modern Wales do more with technology.

It’s a Welsh Assembly Government project which is delivered by a consortium of 5 organisations.  The project is mainly funded by the European Regional Development Fund.

See www.clickconnectdiscover.org for more information.

How can we help you?

PAVS runs the Circuit Rider Centre of Excellence for the Communities 2.0 project.  PAVS’s Circuit Riders can offer advice and support on almost all aspects of ICT for your group or organisation.

You may want to:

• Set up or improve your website
• Buy the right computer and new software
• Share photos & videos of your events
• Video conference your clients, Trustees or staff for free
• Improve how your organisation uses ICT

We will also run a series of mini workshops throughout Pembrokeshire to show how modern technologies can enhance your work, reduce your costs and improve your communications.

Where will we be working?

We work with voluntary groups and organisations based in, or who work within, priority areas in Pembrokeshire:

• Haverfordwest, Castle & Garth
• Milford, Hubberston & West
• Pembroke Dock, Central & Llanion
• Pembroke, Monkton & St Mary North

We can also work with Social Enterprises across the whole of Pembrokeshire.

CVC Circuit Rider Project

During 2006-08 PAVS delivered an ICT support and development service to voluntary and community (third sector)organisations, helping them to make the best use of ICT within their group.

All the groups responded fantastically with enthusiasm and drive - whether it was to create a new website for their members, updating their network to improve office tasks or using new technologies, like Skype, to cut costs.

 

As part of the project, the team developed an online resource for articles, website links and downloads.

The team also produced a CD containing information on the work of the Circuit Riders including Case Studies of voluntary groups using ICT, evaluations of the technologies used by the team to support the groups and much more.

The content of the CD is now available on line at the link below.
