Communication For Development (C4D)

#MasterClass #SkillUp #YouthSpace #C4D  

It is a wrap! 

I had a wonderful 3 days master class session along Ngong road with a group of youth ambassadors for positive social change from Mukuru, Huruma, Mathare and Kibera. 

The youth are currently working with Plan International Kenya under the safe an inclusive cities where they are implementing different approaches for Communication For Development (C4D) under different thematic areas. 

Objectives: -

1. Help the participants understand what is C4D as aligned to Plan International Kenya and other best practices. 
2. To train the participants, both the creative and technical aspect of content creation using new media and tools, especially the internet, smart phone and mobile application. 
3. To equip the participants with the soft-skills that would enable them integrate with their communities as champions of Community for Development (C4D). 
4. Train the participants on different advocacy strategies to achieve C4D goal 
5. To train the youth on how to become content creators, how to develop that 'muscle' starting with simple steps and how to keep a balance from not only consuming content but also by adding value to self and the community at large through advocacy using their smart phones.

The Master Class: Content Creators vs. Content Consumer

The masterclass was a comprehensive unit build upon the ASK model (Attitude, Skills and Knowledge) while also understanding how to create great stories based on the 1H and the 5 W’s (How, Who, Why, When, What and Where). 

Methodology used; - Lecturer Insights - Small group outdoor and indoor assignments. - Practical I. - Participants insights - Case study.

 Inconclusion, I trained the youth ambassadors on how to make / take pictures and videos with a smartphone while ensuring they understand how to use simple mobile applications for editing both videos and pictures. 

Are you planning for skill up session for youth within your network?
