Bloggong Positive [Новость добавлена - 13.02.2009]

Dear Friends,
 
This Valentine's Day (February 14), Global Voices -- a leading participatory media news room for voices from the developing world -- will be launching a campaign called "Teach Someone You Love to Blog or Micro-Blog." Please participate in this exciting campaign by following the simple steps on this post:
http://globalvoicesonline.org/2009/02/11/on-valentines-teach-someone-you-love-to-blog-or-micro-blog/
 
Global Voices and its outreach arm, Rising Voices, are at the forefront of citizen-journalism activities related to issues such as health, development, and ICTs. This "teach-in" marks the start of a series of health-related activities specifically focusing on HIV/AIDS.



 
A "Blogging Positively Guide," now in the works, will provide valuable advice on how to blog to address HIV/AIDS issues. We are looking for help to create the Guide and/or to give feedback, so those interested in or already blogging about the pandemic are encouraged to participate. People living with or affected by HIV/AIDS are especially encouraged to become involved.
 
Serina Kalande and Daudi Were will host a "Blogging Positively" chat, intended as an ongoing discussion about blogging to address HIV/AIDS, on February 27, 2009 at the following times: 9 a.m. New York, 2 p.m. London, 5 p.m. Nairobi. This chat will build on the insights shared during the highly successful World AIDS Day chat, held on December 3, 2008.

Stay tuned for further details on the chat and the Guide. For more information visit the Rising Voices website and join the Blogging Positively forum. To contact someone involved in the project, email Janet Feldman, Juhie Bhatia, or Solana Larsen.
