The post I had originally planned to publish before leaving on a plane for Tunis, Tunisia was going to be all The Women’s Enterprise for Sustainability (WES) , funded through the U.S. Needless to say, I’m sad about what is taking place in the region and disappointed that my trip to Tunisia has been rescheduled.
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. You can read more about it on the Tunisia Team’s blog.
This past year I had the honor of facilitating an intense training in Tunisia in January for Women Entrepreneurs that included leadership, entrepreneurship, business planning, and communications. Photo by Gary Clark.
After taking a break, I felt a lot like Hank – I just wanted to keep on resting. But in the quiet and last days of 2012 and the reflective moments in the new year, it was time to face the new year! It was a time to focus on family and health (I had my gallbladder removed).
Yesterday, I had the honor of participating in the 4th annual Women Who Tech TeleSummit that brings together women breaking new ground in technology who use their tech savvy skills to transform the world and inspire change. This is an important employment skill for them.
Shabakat Al Ordon trains young people in technical, professional and facilitation skills who then go out and create programs to train people in their communities. The Team from Tunisia identified Sawty as an example of a networked nonprofit in Tunisia, while the Lebanon Team pointed to Nasawiya.
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. When we visualize our networks, we can also ask if it is diverse enough? Diversity correlates with innovation!
I was also impressed by the energy in a room with twenty people who have a networked mindset, leadership skills, and social media expertise. 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. Nerds, Geeks, and Hackers.
So, expect to see regular reflections on good instructional design and delivery for any topic, but especially digital technology and social media related. Problem-solving and reflecting (Intellectual). This is the actual delivery of the instruction and content. This is where you apply your presentation and facilitation skills.
