12 October 2013
Comments
• Was evident that it was well organised and explained clearly
• I think the workshop covered the theoretical side as well as the practical aspects of campaigning given the limited time allowed
• I think that they cover all of the content
• Breaks went on for too long • I am not sure about the timing,
some looked not clear enough and would be better if we practice some work
Comments
• Was well explained and both of the trainees informed us on different ways to target audiences using the internet safely and without any costs
• Facilitators have reflected on their own experience
• The facilitators talked about their work and how they set about using the media in their own work
• They clear both have come from a media background and have wealth of knowledge
Comments
• Was very informative especially for people that do not have knowledge about core subject. Was a good introduction on how to access social media and use social media for aspects of education, business etc.
• They presented examples and related the whole subject to our own experience as Sudanese campaigners
• They both gave examples from their experience
• I believe it was clear enough
Comments
• I have already started to apply some of the recommendation from both facilitators
• I am quite sure I will put SMS group message into good use while campaigning.
• THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRAINING IS MORE THAN MY KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO USE THE INFORMATION GAINED
• However I'm not sure about
Blogging • I would have liked to have the
chance to use practical skills with trainees support
What was the most valuable aspect of the workshop? • On how many sites are available too use and that are
user friendly and cost effective. • I think all of them • The emphasis put on the significance of the clarity of
the objective and the clarity of the message. The importance of thinking about the audience versus one's own considerations.
• New useful web sides Very valuable links • How to use digital media more effectively . • Campaign technic and the follow up process • THE WAY HOW TO APPROACH THE AUDIANCE.
What could have been done to improve the workshop?
• I would have sent power point presentation prior to training so audience can make notes whilst listening.
• Workout, practice • Longer session to include practical demonstration 2.
Better catering service particular for those from far afield 3. Help with travel cost
• More time • More details and examples • More interaction with the audience Give scenario and
ask audience for solutions • Some of the communication technic are quite new to
me. so, learning how to apply them would be good • TO HAVE MORE PRACTICAL TRAINING ON HOW
TO APPLY THE INFORMATION GAINED. • I think certain topic like blogging and how to
organized it need more time( session), it was a bet complicated for me
• The time was short but still wasn't bad
Would you benefit from a follow-up workshop?
• Yes, as this training was more of an introduction a good follow up would be a practical steps on how to set up.
• Certainly • Yes as long as it designated for practice • Yes by attending the follow-up workshop I will know
for sure if I used all the guidance in a correct way or not.
• Learn the technique and the methods of communication
• Sure • OF COURSE. • Yes, I hope it will be more about reporting skills • Yes%100
Additional Comments or suggestions:
• It was very interesting and well planned out, was useful on how to start using social media. It explained all the benefits (pros and cons) and found it very useful. I would like to understand more in depth on how to start with support of the trainers (practical task) with using time more effective.
• Best practical work more than listen • An example of a non-Sudanese successful
experience (Different model). -Bringing in someone with a different experience just for a short period of time may help
• I just think the time is not enough for such a workshop.
• Thank you for doing this and please keep it up • PRACTICAL TRAINING REQUIRED. • Thank you ever much, really appreciate the great
presentation. • Just make sure the student they are practice and
doing so effort Follow your work by some support Many thanks•
