I had an amazing time. I am already applying the valuable content in my organization. Busayo Olowookere, Education as a Vaccine, Nigeria
The program was an eye-opener and better positioned me as a Communications Officer. I learned about digital mobilizing, online community building, and more. Shahd Abdulrahman, Campaigner, Sudanese Feminist Movement, Sudan
SMT’s training on using WhatsApp to activate our bases helped us activate more leaders by creating conversational WhatsApp groups for members and assigning different leadership roles to volunteers. Volahery Andriamanantenasoa, Program Director, CRAAD-OI, Madagascar
SMT helped us craft an effective public narrative for our campaign to get a mine closed. SMT helped us finalize a campaign strategy and come up with an effective plan to raise visibility and engage the public. Our campaign led to a pause in the mining. We will keep fighting! Ruth Nakillijja, Communications & Community Engagement, Rhizing Women, Uganda
Our coach was an everyday reminder of what we needed to do. He checked in and followed up on us. It really helped us activate Twitter in our campaigns and tighten up digital security. We moved from just having a Twitter handle to building on a hashtag that saw a jailed human rights activist released from prison. Margaret Mapondera, Communications & Media Coordinator, WoMin, South Africa
I found a lot of value in this Certificate Program that I use in my everyday work: from using social media effectively; significantly growing accounts and activating people online, pressuring targets in campaigns, and running Twitterstorms. Even when using other tools, I still apply the principles I learned! Mark Ninga, Digital Media Assistant Officer, galck+, Kenya
SMT coaching enabled us to expand our presence within human rights spaces in Kenya beyond an LGBTIQ audience. It helped us use Twitter to connect with allies in the environmental justice and land rights movements. It was amazing to have someone to work with who knows our work and give us templates just when we needed them.
