It was quite an interactive session and exchange of ideas between members of the different CSOs therein present. They all listed the different tools they used both online and offline (like flyers, posters, videos etc) and how they\u2019re used in their different organizations to disseminate information to a wider audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The facilitator\u2019s\napproach in presentation was amazing. He used videos especially those that\nconcerns gross human rights violation, security issues to draw the attention of\nCSOs on the issues unraveled in our society and how to better\ncommunicate\/advocate for such a course. Participants were asked to comment on\nlessons learnt from the videos watched, paying particular attention to the\ncontent of the video, emotions conferred, what message was shared by the video,\nwas it clearly understandable? And what better way to transmit the message. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presentation on day two was on Public Awareness and Self\nAwareness. The facilitator defined Self awareness as a skill that anyone can\nlearn to improve on the right exercises and habits (that is, paying attention\nto the way you think, feel and behave). Meanwhile public awareness is the\npublic level of understanding about the importance and implication of a course\nor a topic of common\/personal interest. Participants were enlightened on two\nways to focus on in raising public awareness, which included through community\nmobilization and specific plan events like open door days, using poster cards\nfor campaign, websites, social medias, documentaries, influential persons in\nsociety, musicians, bloggers and visiting schools etc. In using planned event\nto raise public awareness, a case study was presented to participants in order\nto enable them have a better understanding of how plan events work. In the case\nstudy presented, the following questions were asked: what was the event?, Was\nyour CSO organizer or participant to the event? Why did your team think the\nevent could be used to reach you target? Do you think your objectives were\nachieved? If yes, why and if no, what doesn\u2019t work well? These questions are to\nhelp the implanting organization to improve on its communication strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rounding up, the facilitator advised the participants (CSOs)\nwho used videos for public awareness to make a video structure not exceeding\nthree minutes, for posters, it should be simple with keynote message on it,\norganizational websites should be simple, having the organizational logo at the\ntop of the page, clear mission of the organization, its members, pictures\nshowing activities engaged while avoiding unnecessary details and listing all\npartners at the bottom of the page. Day two ended with taking of group pictures,\nfilling of an evaluation form and participants had a transportation fare of 25000\nFRS each.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
