The project is training 300 NGOs in Jordan , Lebanon , Tunisia , Morocco , and other Arab countries to become networked ngos and use social media for civil society goals. A true public/private partnership, the funding partners include Microsoft and craiglist Charitable Fund. I started work on the E-Mediat project over a year ago.
The idea was that if they knew each other’s knowledge and skill related to the project, it can help everyone can be more effective in delivering the social media training because one person or team doesn’t need to know everything.
In the morning, we did a team building exercise to better understand the network core, the in-country teams from Yemen, Morocco, Lebanon, Tunisia, and Jordan. I created the above visual using wordle to represent our collective knowledge and skills. What are the opportunities for reciprocity? Points of connection included: -Training.
The goal is to train over 150-250 NGOs in Jordan, Lebanon, Yemen, Morocco, and other countries and help them put social media skills into practice. People can be connected in networks through their knowledge or skills or interests. We created a network map. The key to networks is connections and reciprocity.
Our real goal, again, is just creating cars we think people will love. So I was working on this project to just kind of change the narrative on what people know and think about the country of Yemen. And at that particular time, Alpha was trying to share their platform for causes just like the Yemen project that I was working on.
