Abstract

The Information Society has new and specific characteristics. Information is digitalized, and therefore interactive, processable, transportable, accessible in new ways. Information is changing more quickly and new information appears. The Information Society is a networked society, and it is a society where collective capacities are more and more needed, in addition to individual ones.

Capacity building in the Information Society is not only an extension of usual capacity building. New competencies, new capacities appear and become necessary. They are not only technological competencies, but more profoundly competencies linked with new concepts ; they are not only competencies linked to new knowledge, but competencies linked to new accesses to knowledge.

In my contribution I will analyse three aspects of capacity building in the Information Society :
- Accessing and processing knowledge in a networked world ;
- Collective intelligence and collective capacity ;
- A new citizenship in the Information Society. We will see that new capacities cannot be acquired through old ways of education ; capacity building needs new contents and methods.
