This time, we are hosting MORE sessions on MORE subjects, ranging from proposals and resource mobilization to lobbying!
Skype School will take place from March until December and each session will only be held once. If you miss the sign up period, contact us and we can send you the materials!
Anyone with internet connection and a Skype username can join!
Here are the upcoming sessions from October 2011 to December 2011:
Volunteer Coordination
When? Tuesday, 13 December, 6:00pm Hong Kong time to 7:30pm Hong Kong time
Ever wonder why 50 people sign up to your activity and then only 2 or 3 show up? Or why volunteers only come once and then you never see them again? Do you know what it takes to be a successful volunteer coordinator?
Media Skills
When? December 2011 on FACEBOOK!
Why don’t my fans ‘Like’ my posts? Why don’t my followers RT my tweets? Why don’t viewers comment on my videos? What should I post on my social networking site? Facebook, Twitter, YouTube – aren’t they all the same? Do I need ANOTHER social networking site? Do decision makers really care about Likes and RTs?
Active Participation and Participatory Approaches
When? To be confirmed
Why bother engaging the excluded and disempowered if I can just do everything for them? Who are the stakeholders? How do I monitor them? How do I assess active participation?
Impact Indicators
When? To be confirmed
Want to know if you are creating human rights impact? Use impact indicators! They are not as complicated and abstract as they sound.
Here are the sessions that were held in the past but we can still send you the materials:
Making Taking Action Safe
When? Thursday, April 21
Session 1 – 6:30pm HKT to 8:00pm HKT
Session 2 – 8:30pm HKT to 10:00pm HKT
We all want to do something to create human rights change, but it is very important that we do it SAFELY. We have to be aware of risks, responsibilities, and security, both online and offline.

When? Thursday, April 28
Session 1 – 6:30pm HKT to 8:00pm HKT
Session 2 – 8:30pm HKT to 10:00pm HKT
If I have a campaign strategy, does that mean it’s strategic campaigning? What makes my strategy strategic?
Lobbying
When? Thursday, July 21 6:15pm HKT to 7:45pm HKT
Have you ever lobbied someone? Were you successful? Who did you lobby? How did you lobby them? If anything went wrong, what was it? Some people say lobbying is just for adults with jobs, is that true? How do I persuade or influence a change in policy? Why haven’t you tried lobbying before?

Session 1 – 6:30pm HKT to 8:00pm HKT
