Digital technology has revolutionised the world in which we live and work. You often hear that we live in a ‘digital age’ or ‘digital economy’, that we participate in ‘digital society’. But do you really know what that means? Are you ready for the digital age, economy and society?
MRCF has created an innovative project to equip migrant and refugee community organisations with the knowledge and skills to excel in a digital society.
Please check out the following opportunities:
7 Week Digital Activism Course
This intensive course aims to make individuals more comfortable using the Internet for activism. Modules include interacting online, creating a blog, influencing national and local policy, sending HTML newsletters, and engaging with the media. Participants must already be confident using a computer and email. These trainings will take you to the next stage of using the Internet to create social change.
Next course Oct 18th – Dec 1st 2011
Application Deadline: Oct 7th
Wednesday Drop-in IT Support
MRCF is running drop-in sessions every Wednesday during the month of June for any migrant or refugee seeking help with computers. If you are looking to set up an email account, learn new things on Microsoft Word, Excel, or Powerpoint, or if you just need to update your anti-virus software, then stop in for some help.
Wednesdays from 2-5pm at MRCF
Crash Course in Social Media
This course provides an introduction to social media skills for individuals and organizations from migrant and refugee communities who already have advanced communication and computer skills. In particular the aim of the course is to give attendees the knowledge to create and make page updates, empower their organization through the web and social media.
