•Enable Arab trainers and youngsters to meet each other and together become familiar with digital media to express themselves and their identity in both culture and heritage
•Organize summer camps as a highly effective model for learning for digital expression to teach the Arab youth how to use technological tools and to promote digital expression through image and sound
•Organize local workshops within communities of partner NGOs targeting disadvantaged youth where trainers and youngsters will learn how they can integrate or utilize the passed-on skills in their communities
•Train trainers in open-source software and alternative learning methodologies for the purpose of expression
•Develop a Linux-based live CD with open source software for the trainers and youngsters to take home and a collaborative community portal for their continued work after the summer camp (www.arabdigitalexpression.net)
•Develop an online open source tool kit on "how to" do a digital expression camp, licensed under creative commons for other organizations and people to use it.
