Adef - Arab Digital Expression Foundation Information

Vision Through an on-going process of collaboration between techies, artists, activists, youth leaders, educationalists and others, the Arab Digital Expression Foundation unfolded as a hub for knowledge production and sharing. ADEF strives to develop and promote collaborative models and processes for the production and sharing of knowledge in a quest to contribute to an evolving Arab identity; one for which knowledge is critical and shared knowledge is essential for decision-making. ADEF believes it is through open culture that freedom of expression and right to knowledge thrives and becomes a force that drives us to explore and discover our endless potential. Mission The Arab Digital Expression Foundation (ADEF), through its core team and rich web of affiliates, creates and documents models of collaboration to design activities and projects which build on technology in order to develop self-expression, knowledge dissemination and production of thought. In its new iterations, ADEF engages with and supports Arab collectives, initiatives and groups to embark on projects that creatively capitalize on digital technology for the production of free and open knowledge and the promotion of artistic expression.
