August 2023

This August I continued to heal from my shoulder procedure (January 2022) and am learning to live with pain in my right shoulder. 

My right shoulder was very painful and inflamed and I struggled to write this blog.

I attended a 2 day online webinar titled, 'Journey towards Meaningful Connectivity Exploring Value' with the Institute of Social Entrepreneurs Asia, (ISEA).

Joined the August 2023 webinar about storytelling with World Pulse.

I listened to guest speakers highlighting how to teach literacy to deaf learners from eKitabu, this session was organised by the World Literacy Foundation and Sun Books monthly webinars.

انسٹی ٹیوٹ آف سوشل انٹرپرینیورز ایشیا (ISEA) کے ساتھ معنی خیز کنیکٹیویٹی ایکسپلورنگ ویلیو کی طرف سفر

As a fair trade educator interested in digital literacy and connectivity for fair trade and ethical artisans and producers in remote areas around the world.

I was pleased to receive an email from the Institute of Social Entrepreneurs Asia (ISEA) to join their 2 day webinar and learn about their work regarding meaningful connectivity and exploring value.

Leaders and Community activists shared their live case studies, from Indonesia, Philippines, India and Latin America.

I am so glad I managed to log in at 8 am each day.

Many thanks to the ISEA Communications team and all the guest speakers.

I hope I can visit their work one day soon and duplicate their initiatives for many fair trade producers who face internet and digital deficiencies.

Technology transfer in rural communities cannot happen in a rush.

It requires a gradual process with hands-on learning and a

human centred approach.

Internet technology is not rocket science.

But it still requires a specific approach and training techniques when it comes to capacity building for local communities that have never interacted with computers and digital technology.
