<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10pt;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:'Calibri Light',sans-serif">The
inaugural African Human Computer Interaction Conference (AfriCHI) takes place
in beautiful Kenya from July 3 to 8, 2016, hosted by the University of Nairobi.
AfriCHI aims to widen the international participation of Africans in the
practice and study of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Interaction Design,
and to advance HCI by increased awareness of designs, tools, inventions,
methods, theories and pedagogies for creating or using technology in Africa.
AfriCHI’16 is organised in co-operation with the Association of Computer
Machinery’s Special Interest Group for Computer Human Interaction, ACM SIGCHI,
by a pan-African team, and has the theme: <i>Kujenga
madaraja, kubomoa vizuiz</i>i or Building Bridges, Breaking Barriers.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10pt;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:'Calibri Light',sans-serif">AfriCHI’16
is for anyone interested in people’s interactions with digital technology or
media who is African, based in Africa, or undertakes/wants to work on projects
in Africa or with Africans. We welcome practitioners, professionals, scholars
and students in all fields and traditions that consider interactions with
digital technology. This includes not only designers, engineers or analysts of
software, hardware and media (e.g. user experience or mobile application
designers, information architects, usability experts etc.), but also educators
in all aspects of digital life; researchers in all disciplines; change-makers,
planners and managers in all sectors, including government, NGOs and
industries; entrepreneurs, artists, activists; and elders in grassroots/creative
collectives. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10pt;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:'Calibri Light',sans-serif">We
invite a broad range of contributions for presentation at AfriCHI’16,
publication in the conference proceedings and wider access in prestige online
archives. This includes tracks for written papers and notes; oral performances
and multimedia works; panel discussions; posters; demonstrations; English and
local-language workshops; courses; and, Doctoral and Masters research.
Contributions will be reviewed by international experts in HCI, its allied
fields, and in African contexts and traditions and, if accepted, will be
published in the Proceedings of AfriCHI’16. The written part of these
proceedings is eligible for archiving in the ACM Digital Library. We will use
the Internet Archive for multimedia contributions to <i>Gumzo</i>, a track for New dialogues for HCI, which reflects our
eagerness to engage HCI with Africa’s diverse languages and expressive genres
and forms. Please read about language and format options for each track.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10pt;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:'Calibri Light',sans-serif">We
encourage submissions from people who have had few possibilities to participate
in international conferences and also offer mentoring and collaboration to
people seeking this kind of assistance. AfriCHI’16 is exploring real-time
Internet links with institutions throughout Africa so people who cannot travel
to Kenya can listen to talks. If you can help make this happen please contact
the Remote Access Chair on: <a href="mailto:remote@africhi.net">remote@africhi.net</a>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10pt;text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:'Calibri Light',sans-serif">We
also warmly invite volunteers to join our team to contribute time and skills to
