Other ideas on the way
Human rights awareness through twitter
The idea is basically about developing a network that starts from YLVP networks on twitter. Once the network is reaching a certain number, a campaign start date will be assigned and a notification will be sent to all participants of the network to participate.
The participation is through picking a line from the Human Rights Declaration, and twittering it on a massive scale. Each participant is free to pick any line and promote it on his/her network.
The campaign repeats every while with a larger number of participants, and new lines picked.
Other campaigns could be massive reporting on human rights violation.
Wiki Network
Is a project based on creating a group of young people basically starting with the YLVP network, that support and enhance and cooperate the existing network working on translating Wiki into Arabic.
The group is planned to help the existing network in translating the available content, contacting Arab authors to add to the content in Arabic, and then translating the new added content to other languages if possible.
The group would also work on typing paper books into digital format and working into translating it.
Promoting online forums
The project is about promoting online forums to university students and other educational and youth institutions through on ground visits or through social media tools.
Petition station
Due to the fact that the petitions is one of the most reliable way of activism in several MENA countries, this project is meant to create a network of activists online, provide them with easy tools of writing petitions. Once there is a violation or any other need for a petition in any of the member countries, one of the members creates the petition, and sends it to all members in the respected country and in all the other member countries. All network members are requested to sign the petition according to their believes, but are also requested to spread it in their country, print it out after collecting signatures, and finally faxing or emailing it to the country’s embassy.
This would work as a an awareness tool, as well as an opening leading tool.
