Hi everyone,
Expanding on the tactic of using shortwave radio and community in human rights work, I would like to explore the use of podcasts and online broadcasts as an alternative to shortwave radio. Many organizations and individuals are using podcasts as a platform for education about human rights abuses, and what is being done to uphold and restore our most basic rights. I have attached several links leading to organizations that are currently using podcasts to further human rights:
- Social Innovation Conversations is an online podcast channel dedicated to social change. The podcasts range anywhere from lectures on sex trafficking to strategies that can be used to fight government corruption.: http://sic.conversationsnetwork.org/series/humanRights.html
- News From Within: Palestine/Israel is a podcast created by the Alternative Information Center (AIC). It is a joint Palestinian-Israeli podcast that examines the conflict and shares information from both sides.: http://www.alternativenews.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=114&Itemid=594
- The UNICEF podcast focuses on health, education, equality, and protection of children around the world.: http://www.unicef.org/videoaudio/video_allpodcasts.html
- Voices on Genocide Prevention is a podcast created by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. It is a monthly series featuring various human rights experts and government officials which focuses on the issue of genocide.: http://blogs.ushmm.org/COC2/C9
How has your organization used podcasting educate? Share your successes, pitfalls, and lessons learned!
