Thank you that write. Yes, we started our telecentres development in 2001 and at the moment we have 102 telecentres. In 2007 we developed the Alliance of this telecentres – is good that we created this alliance because we can work together to enforce our community. Almost 80 telecentres are involved in work of Alliance. The program of telecentres in Moldova is developed by Soros Foundation Moldova. Unfortunately we don„t have a strong representation of Microsoft Company in Moldova, and seems to be that the representation is not so interested to cooperate with nongovernmental organizations in Moldova. How much time you work with Microsoft UP Program and which is there contribution?
We have quite many telecentres in north of Moldova. Please say me from which place are you in Bucovina? Do you have telecentres near to Moldavian border in Bucovina?
Now we are building our national portal and soon the information will be available in both Russian and English.
What we do as an organization (100-word description)
IDEA creates and supports community-based Internet centers which provide residents with free technology training and access to computers. These aptly named IDEA Centers increase the quality of education and the level of social and cultural development in the communities where they operate. IDEA also works to improve the quality of life of disadvantaged groups by supplying specialized computer software and training aimed at expanding their educational, employment, and community-building opportunities.

Each month, every IDEA Center holds at least twenty-six hours of study courses, training events and seminars, including sixteen hours of Microsoft Unlimited Potential computer courses.

IDEA Educational Centers provide least ten hours per week of free Internet access to the local community.
Community-oriented trainings, seminars and consultations.
Target groups
IDEA Centers expand access to computer and Internet technology training for underserved populations such as unemployed or underemployed youth, people with disabilities, low-income groups, and senior citizens.
Other partners:
