The 4th AMARC Pan African Conference is just started and immediately appeared to be a very useful occasion to get in touch with Radio broadcasters here in Abidjan. What’s better to spend time around a table talking, and most of all, listening to people involved everyday in radio broadcasting?
Thanks to a very good wifi access, [...]
Nancy is getting better and better on her graphical facilitation.
Have a look at this set of images about Community 2.0
My compliments!
The third and final day was crucial as well. The main task was to put together bits and pieces and design the future scenario for this large partnership on rural radio.
The day before, each group had chances to meet and discuss. Not so much as we hoped at the beginning but enough thanks to all [...]
Day 2 – Clarifications, offers/demands matching and group work
Once the preliminary activities have been done and people got a better idea of what was on the table, we moved to the second step of this meeting: the matching between OFFERS and DEMANDS.
This was a crucial point, where the evolution of the workshop was to be [...]
Day 1 Dedicated to presentations
The workshop, dedicated to “The Role of Radio in Development Practice”, has been prepared well in advance by the three agencies involved. To maximize the use of the time before the event, we decided to use a list on Dgroups: people introduced themselves and shared with the rest of the group [...]
I have been pretty busy organizing the “The Role of Radio in Development Practice“, a joint AMARC/FAO/AMISnet Workshop. We want to learn from each other about communication for development activities actually going on the Lakes region in Africa.
As we stated in the concept note of the meeting, together the three big organizations were planning a [...]
My dear friend Nancy White, suggested the following way to concentrate:
“…we brainstormed the idea of a 5 minute reflection. The idea is to do something small and simple and look for the cumulative effect of doing the practice over time.
Every day, at the same time of day, you take a [...]
Today: writing, writing, writing. But also: organizing, organizing, organizing. Giving a structure to the book and adding words to content is the task of today. Having defined together a rough framework about topics, chapters, paragraphs, we divided into groups to focus on single tasks. At the moment we are 6 people and we are expecting [...]
I started today a 4 days writeshop about communication for development and knowledge management, organized by FAO and gtz. The aim is to describe the relationship between the two topics.
The writeshop is the final event of a long process that the two organizations started to analyze this relationship and it’s the attempt to collect and [...]
Pc and mobile phone can easily go together. Take your desktop pc, add a small Bluetooth USB adapter (with a laptop you don’t need it), download the software from the site of the mobile phone company (if you have a Nokia as I have, you find it here), get the two devices connected!
At this [...]
Things are happening in the market and I’m always more convinced that we have to start moving activities to be able to be delivered through mobile devices as phone and PDA.
Some examples of what’s happening? Very easy: it’s under everybody’s eyes. Apple just introduced the iPhone, a new phone that is substantially an iPod + [...]
These days I see a lot of maps coming out of the Web. I suspect that, being so complex and full of millions of items, design and graphic art is the way to try to represent it at best. And, being myself a “visual” kind of person, I like this way to represent things more [...]
Two weeks ago some of the members of the km4dev list met in Zeist, The Netherlands, for a three days workshop. I was there and it was a very interesting meeting.
People with different background and from very different contexts met and spoke freely about many different topics on knowledge management. You [...]
Do you want to create a multimedia presence on the Web?
Go for it: it has never been so easy!
Ok, here are the steps:
create a BLOG on WordPress, the place where you are going to take note of your thinking, day by day, experience after experience;
open a PHOTO ALBUM on flickr, as images are very useful [...]
Starting a new online community is a hard job. Before doing anything else, I always suggest to ACCESS your TARGET AUDIENCE. Spend your time on this exercise because it is very, very important. This is one of the key to avoid further problems. It is the prerequisite to analyze the needs of your future users [...]
