DesTINO — Desarrollo por Tecnología de la Información y Nuevas Oportunidades (Development through Information Technologies and New Opportunities)

Sustainable development model through the dynamic combination of Learning and Skills, Business and Services, Infrastructure and Technology. The viable and self-managed development model involves virtual communities, wireless communication, self-generated energy, networks, and Internet and puts special emphasis in bringing new opportunities to rural and marginal suburban communities. It will be developed as an open project with the active participation of technicians, consultants, and educators and people from all over the world. The concept is based on the wonderful experience of El Limón rural community and the results achieved by Jon Katz and the EcoPartners group, and combined with a new project involving young people from La Caleta suburban area in the Dominican Republic.
