This third edition of the EDTC Conference  is part of the dissemination and support activities   for two projects by HegoBit Aldea involving  cooperation  today: psico-didactic and social integration of ICT in slums in the city of Puebla (Mexico) and Educational Inclusion in Guayaquil (Ecuador). By means of these Conferences reflection is  promoted on the different units (bits) that comprise these 2 projects on cooperation : education and development cooperation  , education and ICT, and ICT and university cooperation and development cooperation. Therefore, in these days we want to gather practical experience both in the field of virtual education (especially at the university and school level) and in the field of development cooperation.

The activity of development cooperation is closely attached (socially, historically and temporarily) to education. The latter is presented as the essence of cooperative actions to the extent that, to be honest, it must find those who are appropriate cooperation objective so that they gather the necessary knowledge to become autonomous subjects. This relationship between education and development cooperation has led to even more formal disciplines such as Education for Development, which has its field of action in the North.

Moreover, recently the integration of ICT in projects and the management processes and implementation of projects has focused the attention (often more formal than real) in the area of development cooperation.

In this sense, there are experiences showing that exploiting the potential of ICT can manage not only that the results of the existing cooperation schemes are optimal but also to open new fields.

Something similar can be noted in the educational sphere in its entirety, which is promoting more or less success with the integration of ICT. Today we are facing the implementation of the plan "School 2.0" which aims to empower this integration of ICT. In any case, as in the field of cooperation, there is already a widely diverse range of successful experiences and practices.
