Networking for Success
The "Networking for Success" project run by W.TEC in Nigeria teaching women professionals on how to use Web 2.0 technologies to develop their work came to an end today.
The Project is the first one of it's kind and congratualtions must go to W.TEC found, Ore Somolu who had a vision two years ago and followed it through single handedly. The aim of the project was to:
1. Develop skills in the use and management of Web 2.0 tools (blogs,
wikis, podcasts) and other technologies in order to build capacity and
efficiency into their organisation’s work
2. Learn how to work collaboratively with colleagues within and outside of their organisations using ICTs
3. Learn how to identify and assess the appropriateness of various ICTs to different tasks
The NFS project will comprise of 2 parts:
1. 3 month-long courses on the applications of social media (aka web 2.0) tools to social development
2. 12-week online discussion on the aspects of the above subject. The
discussions will take place on the project blog and each week will be
led by at least one mentor.
You can read all of the blog posts by the women by scrolling through the Blogroll.
