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.

I fully support global voices, and like the initiative so much that i have signed up as a contributor. Why? Because Global voices gives people who’s viewpoints may never be heard a chance to tell their stories on a global stage.

I think often, in the blogosphere sometimes voices get drowned it, its not that they dont have important things to say, its just that these bloggers may be new or not very familiar with things like SEO. Global voices changes that. The initiatives like rising voices, is also one of my favorite projects.

Not sure if this post has come to late, but hopefully it counts!
