A GUIDE TO TWEETING FOR PEACE and SOCIAL CHANGE

A GUIDE TO TWEETING FOR PEACE and SOCIAL CHANGE
http://www.internationalpeaceandconflict.org/profiles/blog/show?id=780588%3ABlogPost%3A726981&xgs=1&xg_source=msg_share_post
Since its founding in 2006, Twitter has rapidly grown to be one of the most powerful online platforms for connecting hundreds of millions of individuals and organizations around the world. While the estimates vary, Twitter estimates they have over 100 million active monthly users of the platform and almost 500 million registered Tweeters, with several hundred million tweets sent per day (see http://www.mediabistro.com/alltwitter/twitter-statistics-2012_b18914) . The service is experiencing exponential growth and has rapidly changed the Internet (see the bottom of the guide for an infographic that has more detailed info/stats on Twitter).

This resource guide provides an introduction to Twitter, discuss the role it can and has played in peacebuilding and social change and offers key resources to begin actively using the platform. Over the past few years, Twitter has rapidly become a powerful tool for connecting social activists fostering political reform and change in many regions of the world. From the Arab spring countries, to Occupy Wall Street in the US, to how individuals inform and connect on serious issues such as organizing political movements, documenting resistance, reporting on violence, to more lighthearted uses such as connected groups around common issues, ranging from education to humor, Twitter has and will continue to have a tremendous impact. It is important to note Twitter is part of the larger movement of using mobile tools for social tools, such as the field of crisis mapping (http://crisismappers.net/ a separate PCDN guide should be forthcoming soon on this field).

The World Insight call for papers. Get published!

http://www.aidemocracy.org/students/the-publication-amplifying-the-voice-of-the-young-global-citizen/
Help us define and build a more just and sustainable world.
Our planet, nation and generation face incredible challenges, from unemployment to poverty to climate change. However you slice it, youth are often among the most adversely impacted by global challenges.
The World Insight is a platform for youth to express our views on the greatest challenges facing us today, as well as how we can build a better world. Featuring policy analysis, interviews with young global leaders, leadership tips, and ideas on how you can get more involved in building the world our generation will inherit, the World Insight amplifies the voice and applauds the action of the millennial generation.
We are now accepting submissions for the next edition of the World Insight, which will be published in late January 2013. This edition will focus on expressing youth priorities for the next presidential administration. This is an outstanding opportunity to get published and make your voice heard.
The beginning of a new presidential administration is an important opportunity to talk about the US role in the world. This is a moment to challenge not only our leaders but also ourselves to think about what kind of world we’re building. It’s a time to make connections, polish our skills and demand change.
Papers can be on any topic, but must engage with at least two of the following three questions: 1) why this issue matters to youth, 2) why this is a global issue, and 3) what the next administration should be doing about it. Remember, the World Insight is a journal highlighting youth perspective on US global engagement. Papers should be no longer than 2000 wo
