I'm mentor for a blog project for young women from Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia entitled YoungCaucasusWomen. Here's the project description from the site:
The week of February 27th, I will blog on the topic of: “Who’s your favorite artist (visual, dancer, performer or musician) and why?” I will be joined by colleague, Britt Bravo, from netsquared.org. Through introducing ourselves to other mentors in the this project virtually, Britt and I discovered that we had a lot more in common than nonprofit technology and blogher interests. We've both worked in the arts. So, when Katy Pearce asked for people to pair up and for topics, we came up with an arts-related question.Recruited from current FLEX students, the young women will be trained in personal citizen journalism to be published on a weblog (a WWW publishing tool, available for public consumption.) The students will post a minimum of once a week on an assigned topic. They may post on other topics throughout the week as well. After the students return home, they will receive a monthly assignment, but may post as often as they like. Each week a blog “mentor” with post early in the week to help inspire the young women. The mentor will be an adult blogger from around the world, with a particular focus on bloggers from developing countries who are having an impact on the dissemination of news from their countries.
I hope you'll take some time to follow the project!
