Board members of Dounia Project met to revise and agree on a new vision for the organization. The meeting focused on how to enhance the global collaboration between the existing sites and new sites and on ways to making these exchanges more interesting contentwise and more beneficial for youth participants.
The first element would be to create a special platform dedicated only to the Global Collaboration project sites where youth and adult facilitators could access a specially designed curriculum and guide, a videoconferencing site, a space for exchange, debate and discussion via a forum, and a wall where youth participants’ media pieces will be displayed.
The second element would be to have participants learn to create and produce Web TV shows and Podcasts and showcase these media pieces onto the online platform to share with their peers and start debating around the issues raised.
The final element would be to invite schools and youth clubs around the world to apply to the project and provide a global debate in our platform facilitated by our multilingual community managers.
We are planning on launching this space in May 2015. In the meantime, sites in Casablanca and in New York will be trained to create web TV shows and/or podcasts and the best work will be displayed on the launch of the platform with a special videoconference discussing best practices and challenges.
Let’s get started!
