HiperBarrio: Local Stories, Global Audience

You can learn more about HiperBarrio by visiting their space on the Rising Voices wiki. If you understand Spanish, you can visit the participant blogs from the workshops in Santo Domingo and La Loma San Javier. Alvaro Ramirez has a great summary of posts from participant blogs from the Convergente workshop, which is also in La Loma.

In the coming weeks we'll translate material from all of these blogs into English and post it here on Global Voices.
