for activists and NGOs. The networks were founded by people with experience in communication and international collaboration in the NGO world, and a deep commitment to making new communication techniques available to movements working for social change. Most networks were founded by a small number of people who devoted their personal equipment and all their free time to spread electronic communication to their colleagues working for change.</p><p> In 1987, people at GreenNet in the United Kingdom began collaborating with their counterparts at the Institute for Global Communications (IGC) (then known as PeaceNet/EcoNet) in the United States. These two networks started sharing electronic conference material and demonstrated that trans-national electronic communications could serve international as well as domestic communities working for peace, human rights and the environment. The basis for an APC constitution was outlined at a meeting in IGC’s office in San Francisco. </p><p>This innovation proved so successful that by late 1989, networks in Sweden (NordNet), Canada (Web), Brazil (IBASE), Nicaragua (Nicarao) and Australia (Pegasus) were exchanging information with each other and with IGC and GreenNet. In May 1990, these seven organisations founded the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) to coordinate the operation and development of this emerging global network of networks. </p><p>In June 1995, APC received consultative (Category 1) status to the UN. </p><p>Today APC is a non-profit association of member and partner networks around the world, committed to making the internet serve the needs of global civil society.</p></div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field__item"><div id="" class="section-wrapper top-padding-small bottom-padding-small "> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text-area paragraph--view-mode--default container-xl"> <div class="row"><div class="col-12 "> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="650" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/timeline3/latest/embed/index.html?source=19uCJ9ZGF9nJq_Nm1x1OTH5Iqs9-QBVe1FlErxl-YvqI&font=Default&lang=en&initial_zoom=2&height=650" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="100%"></iframe></p></div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field__item"> <div class="section-wrapper expandable top-padding-small bottom-padding-large "> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--expandable paragraph--view-mode--default container-xl"> <div class="expandable-title"> <h3><a class="open-toggle" data-bs-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseExpandable128" role="button" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseExpandable128">Collected articles about the history of APC</a></h3> </div> <div class="collapse expandable-area" id="collapseExpandable128"> <div class="field field--name-field-tabs field--type-entity-reference-revisions field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <div class="column-content"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><ul><li>A nice introduction to APC 1987-1993 by Karen Higgs and Frederick Noronha (APCNews July 2010): <a href="https://www.apc.org/en/node/10678/">The internet is a “radically different” place because of APC</a></li><li>A paper from 1987 about APC and speculating on our future: <a href="http://www.apc.org/en/node/9747">Why the Association for Progressive Communications is different</a></li><li>Materials principally from 1985-1990 collected by Mitra Ardron, GreenNet and APC founder.
