Reaching Out to Learning Communities:
The Challenge to Educational Innovation and Technology

The 8th SEAMEO INNOTECH International Conference will prepare a forum for professionals of learning communities around the world to come together and share information and experiences in meeting the need to bridge cultural and other divides. We look to educational innovation and technology to help us find ways by which we can promote understanding within, between and among learning communities.
