Global Voices online & MS Action Aid – Mentor Project
As you may know, i also blog over at global voices online, they are currently in partnership with MS Action Aid Denmark, to provide mentoring to some of the students that are part of the Action aid, Education for social change programme.
I believe we will be mentoring students that are part of the New Communicator track.
About the Education for social change
Global Change is a brand new education from MS ActionAid Denmark. The goal is ambitious: Social and political change on a global level through education of young people in communication, new media and innovative organising. Global Change is a bi-annual 4 month education carried out from MS Global Platform Copenhagen, Denmark.
About the partnership with GV & My involvement
A few global voices bloggers were selected to act as mentors for the students on the course. The goal will be to inspire these students in blogging and how it could be used for Advocacy. We also hope to discuss things like how to build a blog and develop your own voice, style and subjective approach to this medium; how to attract and build a relationship with the readers and do outreach to other bloggers in the blogosphere; how to link your blog with other social media.
Basically, just being there for the students, and responding to any queries and having regular chats with them to ensure they are getting the most out of blogging.
I will also attempt to use what little free time i have to post some of my experiences on this from a mentor perspective as well as linking to my mentee.
