Everyone's
talking about blogs, blogs, blogs... and many of us know they can be a lot
of fun to read.
But what is a blog? And are they worth our time as HIV/AIDS advocates
seeking to win change and improve our efforts against the epidemic? If we
know our communication goals, how can blogging be a part of reaching them in
the Web 2.0 Era?
Join us for a stimulating call with two AIDS community bloggers who will
discuss the basics of blogging, how to set goals for your use of blogs to
further our work, and tips for making your posts or comments really work for
you.
*At the conclusion of the teleconference, participants will be able to:*
- Understand what a blog is and its role as a communication tool
- Identify at least three characteristics of blogs that can be considered
for strategic communications as HIV/AIDS advocates
- Set goals for their individual and organizational presence on blogs
- Utilize key strategies for successful blog posts and comments

Dear TIG Members,
the following is a competition on youth and climate change.
The Next Generation of 'Green' Entrepreneurs
Climate change has been identified as one of the biggest global threats of our time. Scientists agree that global warming and extreme climate phenomena can be increasingly attributed to human activity - in particular, heavy
emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, resulting from industrial processes. Solutions to those pressing problems could lie in the rapidly growing 'green economy': environmentally sustainable enterprises,
technological innovations (new sources of clean, renewable energy), energy efficiency measures, economic incentives for low-carbon choices, etc. How can youth contribute?
The World Bank Essay Competition 2009 invites youth to share ideas on:
How does climate change affect you?
How can you tackle climate change through youth-led solutions?
Please answer both questions:
How does climate change affect you, your country, town or local community? How do you think it will affect you in the future? Think about the consequences for employment, health, security and other areas of your life.
What can you do, working together with your peers, to address the problem of climate change in your country, town or local community? Think specifically about the role of youth-led initiatives in the 'green economy'.
Visit http://www.essaycompetition.org/index_1 for more information.
