Hey all,
For those whom I've never met, my name is Femi Longe and I am the AIESEC International Director for Africa 04/05 till the next 3 weeks and as well the AI responsible for the Genesis Learning Network in 04/05...
I have been a contributor here for a couple of weeks now but I felt it better to stand by the sideline and follow the discussion happening...I must say, I am really impressed at this self-driven initiative which is symbolic of the kind of action and attitude we wish to see in the organisation particularly also as we make the Learning Network initiative go global...
So what has been happening from our end as far as Genesis and what more should you be looking out for…Sorry that in this posting I'll be sounding very administrative...
INITIATIVE GROUP SIGN-UP
As you may have seen, last week countries were asked to sign up for the 5 Global Learning networks launched. 13 countries signed up for the Genesis Learning Network namely Cameroon, Cote D'Ivoire, Egypt, Ghana, Iceland, India, Ireland, Kenya, Malaysia, South Africa, Tanzania, Turkey, Uganda, Zimbabwe…AIESEC in the United States is also considering joining and should be doing this in the next couple of days…
So what's happening next???
Right now we have defined topic areas around HIV/AIDS which the Learning network will be focused on…Of course they are broad that we can have spin-off discussion happening around personal areas of interest…These topic areas are:
Prevalence of HIV/AIDS
Understanding the reality and spread of HIV/AIDS in different countries and regions of the world
Prevention of HIV/AIDS
Understanding HIV/AIDS and how it is spread
Understanding the different methods of preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS
Understanding and advocating behaviour and attitude change to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS (explore cultural influences)
Socio-Economic Impact of HIV/AIDS
Stigma: Managing interactions and integration of people living with HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS Orphans: Managing the implications of a generation of orphans of HIV/AIDS
Labour Market: Managing the economic impact of HIV/AIDS on the major workforce age bracket
Working place policies and corporate strategies around HIV/AIDS
Treatment of HIV/AIDS
Understanding and care for people living with HIV/AIDS (Linked to STIGMA above)
For all the topic areas, we will be addressing them from a youth perspective at all points with clear focus on:
How this area affects youth
How youth can and should be creating change in this area
GENESIS BLOG
As part of the whole learning network strategy and AIESEC experience implementation, we are in the process of launching myaiesec.net blogs which will help in capturing learning and experience of our members.
We have begun trialing with the AI blog on ai.myaiesec.net for some weeks and we are about to kick off with the Genesis Learning Network blog on myaiesec.net too… To this end, we have had discussions over the last few weeks on the modalities of transferring the content from here to the Genesis.myaiesec.net This will be done in the next couple of days…
On the 18th we will be closing applications for Initiative Group moderators who will be part time role facilitating our virtual platform including blogs- so they will be able to add considerable capacity from there. (more info on that below). If you are interested in this positions, do not hesitate to apply...
Global I.G Moderators around each of the Initiative Groups. Each member selected for these innovative teams will be playing two critical roles in activating our Global Learning Platform.
They will be Forum Hosts; facilitating the flow of information and dialogue on our virtual platform, from blogs to forums to the web.
They will provide Strategy and Resource support for IG MCs to achieve their planned activities.
If you or someone you know would like to be part of this exciting development return this application to ArthurJ@ai.aiesec.org by July 17th 23:59 GMT and prepare for a truly unique and impacting role.
Training and support will be provided to successful candidates.
Looking forward to seeing you posting more on your thoughts and experiences on this issue which is of passion, importance and significance to us all…And looking forward to your ideas, comments and suggestions
