Video documentary of the workshop

Hello all,

The "Class Chronicle" team (Mohammad Kalbouneh, Mohammad "Criss" Oqdeh, Farouq Zamamiri & Kareem Talhouni) plan to produce a documentary of the workshop as it progresses. We would like to find out from each one of you (including faculty) what brought you to this workshop, what you hope to acquire from it, a summary of your project and your plans for the future. Any other suggestions would be most welcome.

Here are some sample questions we will be asking:

1. Tell us a little about yourself.

2. Why did you want to take this workshop?

3. What suggestions, if any, do you have to improve the workshop?

Thanks in advance for your thoughtful answers to these questions and the others we will be asking.

Best,
Kareem

Workshop topics

Thanks everyone for a wonderful first day. After the feedback and thinking a bit about what would be the most useful, I've modified the things we're going to cover and the order. Please see the image below.

Basically, we have 4 days with the teleconference with Al Jazeera on the third day. The 4th day is just a 2 hour session to evaluate the projects.

I've marked the topics with a 1-3 notation, each number being the day that I'm planning on covering that particular topic. Please give me feedback if you'd like to see other things covered or have thoughts on the order of what we're doing.

Also, the project team working on the "Video of Amman" has changed their focus to marketing. They will design a marketing and public engagement plan for the whole workshop as well as each of the topics. I'm thinking that we'll ask them to help everyone during the labs as well as make a 30 min or so presentation on day 2 or 3 depending on how things go.

Class roster

Here's the class roster. Apologies for some of the poorly shot images. I will "upgrade" them as I get better photos.

To the participants - Please check your names and let me know if I've got any of them wrong. We transliterated some of them from Arabic and might have gotten them wrong. Also, let me know if I have the wrong names on the wrong people.

Thanks in advance.

women empowerment in jordan

We are a group of trainees in a workshop on creative media online. We are discussing the issue of women empowerment in Jordan. We have some questions to share with you.

How can we help women in Jordan to play an effective role in decision making process?

Do you believe in woman's right to work?

Are Jordanian woman given equal opportunities to men?

How can we encourage women participation in economy?

As a woman, do you know your rights?

Do you think that social barriers play a role in the low percentage of women in the labour force?

women in Jordan have achieved a great deal in progress almost in all major sectors . Moreover , women in higher education are in the forefront in Arabic countries.Their enrollment in universities are higher than men .The same applies in schools and all education centres in Jordan .

Despite all the above mentioned facts . women still lagging behind men almost in all sectors .We believe that journalists have a great role to play in changing attitudes in the remote areas in Jordan .Similarly journalists should be the agents of change specially when it comes to stereo type images that prevailed in arabic countries as large .

Draft map of topics to cover

I've been sketching the topics I'm thinking of covering using mindmap. Let me know what you think. What am I missing? Is the structure wrong? Anything I don't need to cover?

Getting ready for the workshop

This is my blog for a workshop that I will be teaching with the help of Donatella Della Ratta in Amman, Jordan 18-21 of May. It is being organized by the Royal Film Commission of Jordan and Creative Commons, in cooperation with the SAE Institute in Jordan.

I'm just setting up this blog and reviewing the outline for the workshop. It looks like we have a lot of interest in the workshop.Thanks to The Royal Film Commission, StartupArabia and Donatella for spreading the word.

I am working on the curriculum on a Google Sites page.
