The effort to bring together organizations from around the EU working on e-inclusion programs started last year in Barcelona. In this second meeting of this nascent EU telecenters network these organizations will discuss ways to strengthen collaboration, establish venues to learn from each other, and find a common voice to promote this programs among governments and the private sector.<br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fAlL0WqaNAA/R_zh1NgtPnI/AAAAAAAAANM/4YqxWKOItaU/s1600-h/IMG_2530.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 123px; height: 91px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fAlL0WqaNAA/R_zh1NgtPnI/AAAAAAAAANM/4YqxWKOItaU/s200/IMG_2530.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187269175100128882" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">60 people, 43 organizations representing 23 countries from the European Union </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">+ </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">3 North</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> American + 2 Mexicans.
