Highlights from r0g_projects 2022
#ASKnet 2022
(Access to Skills and Knowledge Network)
2022 marked an important year for #ASKnet as the project worked on laying out a mission and a vision, developing the network structure, and creating a business plan with a sustainable financing model.
This was done in order for #ASKnet to begin the process of creating a formal network that is designed to become a self-sustaining network of South Sudanese youth-led media development organizations. We are so excited about this development, as it works to solidify the longevity of the #ASKnet project.
#defyhatenow Cameroon
#defyhatenow Cameroon is a community-based initiative with a focus on strengthening communities, providing data-driven solutions to mitigate social media-based hate speech, and mobilizing civic action against all forms of hate speech and online incitement to violence. We do this to work towards building a #HateFreeCameroon.
The goal is to strengthen and amplify the voices of peace in the local communities. The program also helps bridge the gaps of knowledge and awareness of social media mechanisms between those with easy access to technology and those without. We do so through the creation and distribution of materials, such as our bilingual Social Media Hate Speech Mitigation Field Guide, and local trainings that are free to download and available to everyone.
r0g_Publications
