The evaluations were extremely positive. Most reported participating in stimulating discussions that were pertinent to their own research. Several concepts raised during the symposium were deemed significant. Numerous people emphasized the importance of designing projects and intervention methods which were culturally-minded, collaborative, creative, and sensitive to local knowledge. In order to have better cooperation between developing and developed countri es, indigenous technologies and practices must be legitimized, validated, and incorporated into the project. Low-end technologies, seeking to explore the use and power of oral history and testimonies, were recognized as significant development strategies. These were just some of the key issues which people felt should be emphasized in future projects. In the evaluations, many people identified a desire to participate in interdisciplinary projects with the Development Communication Group, exploring issues concerning women, children, multinational advertising, community and health issues, the pros and cons of the Internet and its access, media for environmental issues, the use of film for disabled people and health advocacy issues. There is certainly extensive interest at USC and in the wider community on the intersection of communication and development.
