Proposed Research Project:



Libo Amazigh TV (2-3 years) - This project aims to study and investigate the state-of-the-art Internet-based TV technologies and mechanisms such as Web 2.0, Podcast, Webcast, Videocast, Video Blogs, Webinar...etc so to come up with a complete plan for designing, implementing and managing the Libo Amazigh TV channel. This Internet-based TV channel is supposed to provide all the necessary TV shows and progrmmes to all Imazighen. Today, with maturing digital video production, the advent of fully-featured Internet TV, and significant advances in streaming video technologies, Internet TV is a growing area and will be a critical part of every society in the years to come. It will also very rapidly become a huge challenge to communities who would like to provide such services to their memebers as Internet TV will revolutionize television the way we watch it today. This project represents a road map to:

  • develop, broadcast and provide all the necessary TV programmes such as news, films, music, documentary programmes ...etc to the Tamazight speaking society in general and Libyans in particular.
  • allow media professionals to develop and stream more effective video content and hence to maximize the targeted Imazighen audience
  • help developing, produce and broadcast "live" interactive events for education, training seminars, conference and many other interesting shows. For example, to develop educational programmes for enhancing Tamazight teaching and leaning pratices in terms of developing online interactive educational movies.
