Thank you Good morning and good evening everyone. Um, I'm very happy to be here and thank you so much for joining us I'm going to get started. I think we'll jump right in and we'll talk about what we're going to be discussing today A quick overview of what I plan to cover in the presentation aspect We're going to talk about how blogging can benefit our work The elements of a good blog Choosing a blog format planning your blog And I hope by the end of the webinar you will be feeling confident and prepared to create your next blog And we will also have a fun blogging challenge and some time for questions and comments and discussion at the end So I know some of you may be new to blogging while others may already blog somewhat yourselves Hopefully we'll be able to cover something for everyone I should also know before we go in if there are many types of blogs some are more news based others are kind of the top five lists that um You might be familiar with even top five ways to blog would be one The ideas and suggestions that we'll be discussing today were chosen because they relate to the type of blogging That's more in line with the girls inspired blog and the community of practice So let's get started why blog blogging can benefit global development and social change work in a number of ways Firstly, it allows us to spread awareness about the work we're doing the way that can be personal and engaging This can in turn help others be better informed about the issues or challenges that we are trying to address Can also allow people to get involved by supporting the work and whatever way possible for them from volunteering To helping us further spread awareness via social media or even just telling their friends and family Blogging allows us to highlight our successes and the successes of those we work with Others are able to see the positive change that is happening which can inspire them to also get involved And with the kind of work that many of us do it can sometimes feel like progress is slow Blogging can even encourage us to focus on our own successes ourselves and keep us inspired and encouraged to keep moving forward In the girls inspire community of practice there is a focus on learning sharing and connecting Blog posts can allow us to share our experiences These experiences may also reflect a similar challenge that someone else is having and provide insight into a new way to address it It allows us to connect with others Blogs are actually not meant to be just one-way communication. They're meant to be the starting point of a conversation We can comment on each other Discussion Blogs allows to highlight the people involved in our work whether it's the individuals or communities who participate in our programs Or the staff members who manage them Sometimes development social change work can get lost in the numbers and the results achieved But when it comes down to it our work is really about people and this is one way to show that So we'll get into the The bones of blogging and what are the basic elements of a good blog? In the web of our invite I asked you to think about a story someone recently told you that you couldn't wait to tell someone else To think about why you found that story so interesting and what made you think someone else would want to hear about it The reason I asked you to do that is because Blogging is essentially storytelling The great thing about storytelling is that it's universal to every country and culture We tell stories all the time whether it's something that our child did or something that we read about And most stories rely on a few basic components that we can think of when writing a blog The first is characters Who are the people involved Most stories involve a person or a group of people maybe an organization While you might still want to share numbers or information It can make the story more interesting if you can show the people that those numbers relate to Introduce the person or people involved in the story you were telling The second component is the setting Where does the story take place? Tell us a little bit about the location or environment in which this story takes place This can be as broad as telling a bit about the national context of the story Or specific as describing the room the story takes place in The third is plot what happened What are the people doing? Why are they doing it? What is the challenge that is being solved? What has changed? Think about almost any movie or play you might have seen or a book you've read Something almost always changes from the beginning to the end You can show this in your blog in a very simple way. You can start by describing the situation before Then say what happened to affect that situation and then describe how the situation is different to the way it was at the start And the final element is scene How does this relate to bigger efforts? If you're talking about one person in a program Are there other people like that person? How many people participate in the program? How does this relate to efforts to end? Relate to efforts to end child early and forced marriage All of these elements combine To tell the story or in our case the blog Now you don't need to check off each element of character setting plot theme Every time you write a blog But when you finished Writing that blog it can be useful to go back and reread it and ask yourself Have I thought about where this story takes place? Have I talked about how this story relates to our work? Should I? The answer might not always be yes You don't want to include everything in one blog, but it's often good to at least consider these questions when you're writing To see that you Portray the story as best as you could and gotten your message across as best as you could Also, if you feel stuck in writing about something you can pick one of these elements and start with that Perhaps you have an event to write about and you don't know where to start You can start with a person or a group of people who were there Or you could describe where the story took place Sometimes it helps you get past that kind of what they refer to often as writer's block and then you can move through the story from there In addition to the basic elements of story There are a few approaches to writing your blog that can help make it easier for you And it can make it more engaging for the people reading it There's a list of tips that we have here and we just picked four It could be quite long But I think a few that stand out and I think at the end of the presentation It would be great if you could share any that you might have as well defining a goal for your blog Can help make The writing come more easily and make the story clearer to the reader To decide on a goal think about what would be the most important thing you want the reader to remember or to do after they've read the blog Do you want them to just know about the program or the organization? Do you want to know that something new has happened in it? Do you want them to share the story on social media? Do you want them maybe to contribute ideas in the comments to your blog? Make sure to address that specifically in the blog and that way It is clear for the writer the reader what you're trying to achieve Writing your own voice You don't need to make you feel that this don't feel that the blog needs to be a news article While blogs can be professional that can also be fairly informal and I think it's great when the writer's voice comes across in the blog Keep it simple Don't try to do too much in one blog Stick to that goal you said earlier and if there's another story you want to tell you can always write another blog And make it as only as long as it needs to be Don't feel the need to add more just to make the blog longer when it comes to blogs shorter is often better And that way you get one story across and something that someone can remember Now up until now I've mainly referred to people reading or writing a blog while written blogs are a great option You don't need to limit yourself Blogs can be created in many different formats for example If you have the resources and the bandwidth videos are a great option A phone with video capabilities can often help you create simple engaging videos You could do a short interview with someone if you aren't able to capture Audio with your phone or camera. You could just take video of an event or activity and then add some text in the blog to explain it You could also do a photo place blog similar to the photo essay about the solar panel votes that is on the girls inspired blog now And a blog can be to be art Perhaps a drawing or similar such as the one created by clean doubt Feel as you can see it's quite creative. So feel free to embrace your creativity. But don't feel the need To do something that's elaborate if it's not it would be in your skill set If you're new to blogging your video, I would suggest keeping it simple A short video interview filmed with the phones or perhaps a few photos Short description of who or what is in the picture and the story of written words still makes the great blog posts Now we move to the planning aspect of the blog post For some of you blogging might be part of your job or something extra to your job Either way planning will make it faster and easier Before starting your blog take the time to think about who or what the story is about Maybe you have an event or you're going to visit someone that you think has a good story to tell You'll need to decide what form of blog you want to create Are you going to write the blog or use video? Video tends to take more time depending on your experience with it So keep that in mind when making decisions about how you want to present your story One note about video blog posts is a steady camera makes all the difference You can still hold the camera But if you have access to a tripod or even a table that you can set it on it makes the picture quality much better If you're telling someone else a story, it's important to have their consent to do so Similarly, it's important to have their consent that you can take their picture and post it on the blog For girls inspire there are a couple of links that are important to read as well The community guidelines and the privacy policy Both link at the bottom of the girls inspire website And ask for support Ask a co-worker to read something you've written to check that is to check that what you're trying to communicate Is what you want to be communicating or even just to proofread it for you You're feeling maybe you've been looking at it for too long You can even ask the girls inspire community for their input And finally don't overthink it Think about that story that you recently that I we talked about or that I asked you to think about earlier Did you plan that for days? Do you sit down and toil over whether or not you were getting the It exactly how you wanted to you just told the story and you told it naturally and that works in the blog format quite well You just keep it simple and explain where you think people might not understand or might not have the context for which to understand it so for the blog challenge And to get you started we have a blog challenge for the girls inspire partners mainly We will launch at the community practice as well for those who couldn't join us today We're asking everyone to contribute to a group blog post if possible send us one or more short video clips Ideally less than 20 seconds each Asking the women girls you work with one question. What is your favorite thing that you've learned so far in the program? If you're unable to send the video a photo a photo or a very short quote of the The woman or girls answer would also be wonderful or even just a quote in a name if you would prefer to send something written We will make a video compiling the different submissions to share the blog And then finally on how to submit the blogs on the girls inspire community of practice If you just visit the website and go to the blog page You'll see right at the top submitting a blog post and managing your blog And you can always ask questions and sure Sharice would be happy to answer them for you If you have them along the way And if you have any questions just about blogging and making decisions about what to blog I'm always happy to answer as well.

You should be able to see it If we have any questions on the blog will come to you directly But you should be able to see it published by the following day or within the week Um, does anybody have any questions? I'll stop there for a minute to take any questions or comments From my side, I just want to thank Sparrow and Cherise for the presentation But our asherises asked is anybody having a question so maybe Uh, you can unmute your your speaker and then talk to all of us so that everybody can hear the question You have specific questions for Sparrow in regard to her presentation Or to Cherise, can you do so? We have another I think 22 minutes left Uh, hello, I just need a clarification. Is there any difference between a blog and a story? Really no, um, so a blog is just a Serialized stories really so they can be blogs can be news So there can be a slight element, but everything should have a sort of story Part to it. So you're telling a story story is a very general word to use And so I think that if you just think of it as a story or That and that story can somehow be portrayed through photos or be portrayed through video or it's just a news item It's kind of it's pretty much the same thing So there's another question from musta fa from bangladesh open university Musta fa, would you like to unmute your phone and let us know? Say your question for us Okay, so I'll read out musta fa's question in case I I'm not everybody Okay, thank you. I feel I I'm trying to tell that When we write a blog, so should we consider the audience because For example, if we write the blogs regarding us, so what are the target audience we Want to connect with so should we consider that if you consider that maybe the format and Other things will be a little bit Specific, I don't know so that's why this is my curiosity or my question that is it The design of the blog varies with the context of the audience or not Definitely and I think generally you would adapt depending on How best to tell the story to a specific audience for the girls to inspire a blog post They kind of have the number of different audiences So you can choose who you're speaking to when you write your blog post So are you writing a blog post that's mainly for the community practice? And we want to engage with them and just be clear when you're writing the blog post just be clear about For yourself who you're talking to and you can even be very clear in the blog post itself If you think it would help the reader There's also the girls inspire website is public and to keep in mind as well that The public can read that post and That that is something that you might want to consider in terms of privacy policy and community of practice speaking about privacy policy and community guidelines that sparrow had referred to During her presentation. I'd like to take us back to the girls inspire community of practice and just bear with me for one second And I want to quickly show you where you can locate The privacy policy and the community guidelines for your reference and this is also work in progress If you have any feedback on it, let let us know So while she reads it's opening the page. There's another question from such either Do you want to take that spell? Sure, and I think how many blog posts that you can post is As many as you think you can write or create Um the more that's in there the more that people can engage with each other Excellent. So this will take that question from most of what she's going to show you now on the page Okay, so you see the community of practice right here on your screen And if you were to scroll down To the bottom of the community of practice You'll be able to see some links here at the very bottom right below and the creative commons attribution share like 4.0 This claimer here You'll be able to see the community guidelines and the privacy policies. So I'll just click on community guidelines here And this is just an overview feel free to read through it on your own time This is just an overview of what the mandate is of the girls inspire community of practice Which is networking knowledge sharing capacity building learning from each other and to respect that mandate basically so We're putting in some guidelines here just so that everybody's voices can be respected on the community of practice And to not um have anybody feel that their voices are deterred or not respected So that is the main purpose of the community of guide community guidelines The privacy policy you also see a link right next to community community guidelines So you can click on that and this just gives you an overview of what happens to What you post and the content that you post and the content that you engage in For example, if you make a comment what happens to that so what we're saying here is that In terms of your privacy, the community of practice is a closed group This is this community of practice is owned by the Commonwealth of learning So we try we have followed protocols to ensure that your privacy is well protected Also, if we decide to use the comments in the community of practice For any reason such as reporting and providing evidence of the work that we do We will go to you directly to To seek that permission and advice. So This is just for you to have a look at When when you have your own time and a few minutes to go through And I'll stop there for any questions or comments Mustafa has another question. He's asking whether there's a schedule or can we post any time? And he's also happy that we have the cc 4.0 license Anyone wants to go? Well, I think for scheduling you can post any time and then it goes into pending and then it's approved for posting Um, so I think often and as much as you want really would be fantastic Thank you Sperry and I would definitely agree with Sperry's recommendation as often as you can and as I've said Uh, this is blogging for social change. So there is a specific and Sperry also said it's a it's a series of story so if you if you for instance have a story To tell about how a change happened within that community In whatever it is that you want to change I'm conscious of the fact that there is Some other people in the webinar who not necessarily part of our girls inspire Agenda and may want to change something there at university or there in the student community Um, so if there is something that you want to change If there is something you will have a series Of stories your blogs that you will tell and as far as I said either through videos or through pictures or through writing Um, it is important to note that Uh, as as as Sperry said you can do it anytime as it's many times as you want to So social change doesn't just happen things that we are doing today. You may only have an impact in many years from today So we should post as many as possible We should tell the story so that people can look forward. Oh, uh, Mustafa or Kuntal or Sajida wrote a story like a blog last week And this is going to continue. So I'm looking forward to read another blog of this person Another thing that that we have tried to to address and it is not perfect And we will so put a disclaimer on this issue Is about making sure Mustafa talked about the the audience is to make sure that our audience can also Read the stories. You know, English is not the language of everybody around the world is different languages So conscious of that we have the Select a language. So if somebody wants to read Your blog in another language like in Bengali or in Urdu. There is a drop down button there on top We are working now in making it more visible for people to notice it immediately So they can translate it in the local language and you will know this is the Google translator This is the best that we have at the moment. We will stop put a disclaimer there to say it is not always perfect But I translated it in my own mother tongue and I found that it is 90 percent At least the true story in the translation. So you may Want to know that also and so if you encourage your Community where you work to read your story and they say I don't understand English you can advise them Well, you can eat it in in the local language. We have made it more Visible on one of our pages and on our theory of change which is Who is the custodian of this page? She's still working on making it more visible. But it is important That we We make sure that we reach out as far as we can. I'll stop there Does anybody else have any comments or questions? I'd also like to invite any comments on the blog challenge that sparrow had put forward I think this is an exciting initiative that could Help us raise awareness on girls inspire as well and the work that you do in the communities Maybe we can also ask kevin If he has something specific or what he just interested in Vlogging or is it something that he wants to share with us that he's focusing on and maybe we can also yell Or is he becoming one of our supporters here to yell bus in making a change in society? Sorry to put you on the spot kevin, but i'm just interested also And we also see benita's comment about kunkow Yes, we have His artwork in which he's doing his blog. So we will share that with The community here too Any more questions to sparrow? at the moment, um, I'd like to invite maybe fatima from spark because she's the one who was Um who was willing to test the blog feature for us and she had actually posted a blog a week ago So fatima, um, what do you think so far about writing your own blog and posting it on the community of practice? Anything any lessons learned or best practices that you'd like to share with the group? Hi. Hello everybody It was a great experience and I I even attached the I I wanted to attach pictures with it because uh, they have they they make more impressions But um, if is there a way that you can edit it now because right now it's without any picture And it looks very dull. So is there a picture? Is there a way that you can put out any picture to it? Yeah, so we can add that I know that you sent me a picture for blurring Um for privacy reasons um for the girls that we're Yeah In this story. So we're working on in that with our designer and we will post that up with you But also in so if you have that privacy issues, can we just take pictures of google? Yes, do we have to cite that? So, um, if you decide to um, search a photo on google you can do that. Um While we have you all we can I can show you quickly Something that you can see on google you have the option to choose photos that are open for reuse um, okay, so bear with me for a moment and That is a great question actually So if you were to go into google images And drop down to search tools. You can see the usage rights here. So you can filter um What is labeled for reuse or labeled for reuse with modification? so You can choose here and type in um, what you're trying to look for for example, let's try skills development And see all the pictures that are available for reuse or child marriage for example And so you can choose these photos and when you do, um, we still encourage you even though it's labeled for reuse We encourage you to um Decite the source and you can put that as a text in the blog that you submit And you can link to it Sabine you've just seen your comment and we were glad that you you've got your audio. Do you have any comments or? um, that you'd like to share with us Okay, it seems like sabine couldn't hear us very well Um, but I'd like to thank fatima for sharing her experiences With posting and that was a great question. Um to give us a chance to share with everybody how to search for images on google Um, if they do have any privacy issues with the photos that they'd like to use Okay, so most of us has raised a question. Can we have the scope identified for the community of practice? It may help us choose the topics This is a very good question and I'd like to pass it on to francis Thank you. Thank you. Thank you most of all for that question. Uh, as I've mentioned right in the beginning our focus is Child ending the cycle of child earlier forced marriage cfm So the focus is really to blog about stories That lead to change In this regard to blog about stories about girls who Who started skills training girls who started schools? blog about community members Who made a paradigm shift from the traditional my daughter has to get married As soon as she's reached adolescents Now this community member says no after i've been visited by Spark or by vidari or by tms or by whichever ADPP it was a week After i've been visited by them now i've changed my mind So I really want my daughter to go to school those positive stories of change that happen Um, or a girl who says no I I have to to listen to my parents, but I will convince them not for me to get married Such stories are the stories that we want you to blog about We know there are many negative stories around this theme I would like to encourage you to focus on the positive part of the story the one that Who was it? They just focus on Fatima that Fatima just referred to about the picture that just That story is a very serious story, but it had a very positive turn in the end Or when this girl started her training A skills training with one of at one of their centers So mussefa and everybody the focus is really focus is really positive stories about change In regard this theme And so we have a question from sabine.

Please feel free to do so as well I just want to add to that Sabine you you didn't have audio at that time when Cherise took people through the site But you will see it in the The recording of the webinar when you access it later That she has shown where you should manage your blog and that is where the edit function is When you post the blog sometimes you will see under the blog also it tells you you have Some time to edit it. So that feature is definitely there Lucifer in regards that Cherise has answered you But you should feel free if you anybody doesn't have Doesn't feel comfortable to ask where everybody can read you can inbox any of us on the community of practice About the challenges you have in regard of blogging Over to Cherise. She's ready now. So I just wanted to I address that question from most of us further So once you've registered and once you have an account on the community of practice You'll be able to have access to the community if you hover over community here And go down to groups You'll be able to see all of the groups here that you're a member of So for example if you're writing from Bangladesh, you'll be a member of the Bangladesh group If you're a part of the center for mass education and science, you'll be able you'll be a part of that group But everybody who's a member will be a member of the global group And this is mustafa where you you could post and start a discussion forum If you click on forum here You can start a discussion forum on Blogging and you can invite others on this webinar and beyond who are other members of on the community of practice um To to make comments and share their tips and best practices on blogging So given that we are at night. Um, just hitting the one hour mark If you have any more questions again, please feel free to email us, but for now, I'll hand over to francis to make the closing remark Thank you. Cherise thank you so much everybody who has Signed up for this webinar and who participated Let me start by first of all apologizing for the technology that I think At some stages maybe failed us Uh, unfortunately the only way to test this is when we are live Uh, because otherwise we had to ask you all to come A half an hour ahead of time for us to check it all out um So bear with us as we go through this process Uh, I want to give a special thanks to uh sparrow for the time that she has put in um To prepare for this webinar Uh, although she's the communications manager This is not really her job to do things like this And we are indeed very privileged that she could make time for us to Share her experience and expertise with all of us. I've also learned a lot I'm now really looking forward and that is how we will show our gratitude to our house Thanks To the blogs that were done because of this webinar So I'm looking forward to read all your blogs As Cherise said and sparrow also alluded to it You blog will not automatically go live after you've submitted it It will come to us and we will have a quick look at it and then it will be posted So if you need any advice after you have written the blog There is so time for you also to write to us and alert us to that um, and most of the Time the reason why we we do this is because of The guidelines the privacy policy and for us to ensure that whatever goes out Although it is your own story that he doesn't offend anybody on this platform um Thank you so much for your time. I know it's quite late and because of Ramadan some of you are maybe already Looking forward to rest before you start your prayers early in the morning again So thank you for your time. We really appreciate it um, I'm working on a project That I want to present out our pen column of forum later this year On how we develop a vibrant online community and I'll get back to some of you When I've seen some of your comments and the questions It will also show how you evolve in using this type of technology. So I'm very excited Thank you so much and good evening wherever you are Thank you also to charise. I'm so sorry. I should have said that first for all the arrangements She has made and all the patients With us. We appreciate that. Thank you Thank you everyone. Thank you Good night
