Learned from making the video and advocacy

Hello everyone,

Here is my part for the poster thing. I was assigned to do what we learned about advocacy and doing the video project.
Learned doing the video project
•Not easy to create (i.e. Trying to make it look professional and presentable)
•Time consuming
•A lot of trial and error
•Teamwork is crucial
Learned doing advocacy
•Takes a lot of time
•A gradual process
•Required a lot of work
•Not easy to do
•Networking is important*
*Not sure if we should mention this. Was thinking that we could use the UN women thing as an example of networking.

  1. Hey everyone,
    The work that was brought last night went together really well!

    Here's the info I had brought:
    3 functions of the group-
    A member of our group sent letters to government officials to raise awareness and support for International Women's Day

    Our group created a video that outlines the history of International Women's Day. It depicts the accomplishments of women while noting various oppressions they have faced.

    On International Women's Day, our group participated in the hosting of celebratory gala at Carmen's Banquet Hall.

    The words that we had for the learning process were:
    confusing, overwhelming, incompetent, unprepared, excited,

    mis-communication, disconnected

    plans, lack of necessary skills, brainstorming

    editing, communicating, working,

    relieved, proud, happy

    Thanks for putting it into that special word picture Jen! It looked great :)

    In terms of the presentation next week:
    - we are going to be showing the video with a laptop, right? I can bring mine.
    - Was the location and time ever finalized?
    - I can come a bit early to help set up (though I dont have any of the gala pamphlets, we had talked about laying those in front of the poster.. does anyone have extras?)

    I think thats all. If anyone has anyother final details that need to be worked out, let us know!
    Thanks :)
    Miriam
