Reading beetween the lines, you can see how "informal fun adult learning" involving computers, digital cameras, etc. can invisibly and slowly create the steps towards digital inclusion, and digital literacy: http://groups.diigo.com/acceleratedfamilylearning-campaignforlearning/forum/topic/learning-revolution-festivals-libraries-interesting-responses-d-49054#8

This white paper can be linked to the "informal adult learning agenda" - becasue if learners are empowered to make a choice and create a fun fab learning environment, then this buzz will carry them through to a habit of learning. Check the forum topic here, where other stuff has been posted

This is another link that goes with the corresponding learning revolution forum topic: http://groups.diigo.com/acceleratedfamilylearning-campaignforlearning/forum/topic/learning-revolution-festivals-libraries-interesting-responses-d-49054#4
