Comments

• Was evident that it was well organised and explained clearly

• I think the workshop covered the theoretical side as well as the practical aspects of campaigning given the limited time allowed

• I think that they cover all of the content

• Breaks went on for too long • I am not sure about the timing,

some looked not clear enough and would be better if we practice some work

     

   

Comments

• Was well explained and both of the trainees informed us on different ways to target audiences using the internet safely and without any costs

• Facilitators have reflected on their own experience

• The facilitators talked about their work and how they set about using the media in their own work

• They clear both have come from a media background and have wealth of knowledge

 

   

Comments

• Was very informative especially for people that do not have knowledge about core subject. Was a good introduction on how to access social media and use social media for aspects of education, business etc.

• They presented examples and related the whole subject to our own experience as Sudanese campaigners

• They both gave examples from their experience

• I believe it was clear enough

   

Comments

• I have already started to apply some of the recommendation from both facilitators

• I am quite sure I will put SMS group message into good use while campaigning.

• THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRAINING IS MORE THAN MY KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO USE THE INFORMATION GAINED

• However I'm not sure about

Blogging • I would have liked to have the

chance to use practical skills with trainees support

What was the most valuable aspect of the workshop? • On how many sites are available too use and that are

user friendly and cost effective. • I think all of them • The emphasis put on the significance of the clarity of

the objective and the clarity of the message. The importance of thinking about the audience versus one's own considerations.

• New useful web sides Very valuable links • How to use digital media more effectively . • Campaign technic and the follow up process • THE WAY HOW TO APPROACH THE AUDIANCE.

What could have been done to improve the workshop?

• I would have sent power point presentation prior to training so audience can make notes whilst listening.

• Workout, practice • Longer session to include practical demonstration 2.

Better catering service particular for those from far afield 3. Help with travel cost

• More time • More details and examples • More interaction with the audience Give scenario and

ask audience for solutions • Some of the communication technic are quite new to

me. so, learning how to apply them would be good • TO HAVE MORE PRACTICAL TRAINING ON HOW

TO APPLY THE INFORMATION GAINED. • I think certain topic like blogging and how to

organized it need more time( session), it was a bet complicated for me

• The time was short but still wasn't bad

Would you benefit from a follow-up workshop?

• Yes, as this training was more of an introduction a good follow up would be a practical steps on how to set up.

• Certainly • Yes as long as it designated for practice • Yes by attending the follow-up workshop I will know

for sure if I used all the guidance in a correct way or not.

• Learn the technique and the methods of communication

• Sure • OF COURSE. • Yes, I hope it will be more about reporting skills • Yes%100

Additional Comments or suggestions:

• It was very interesting and well planned out, was useful on how to start using social media. It explained all the benefits (pros and cons) and found it very useful. I would like to understand more in depth on how to start with support of the trainers (practical task) with using time more effective.

• Best practical work more than listen • An example of a non-Sudanese successful

experience (Different model). -Bringing in someone with a different experience just for a short period of time may help

• I just think the time is not enough for such a workshop.

• Thank you for doing this and please keep it up • PRACTICAL TRAINING REQUIRED. • Thank you ever much, really appreciate the great

presentation. • Just make sure the student they are practice and

doing so effort Follow your work by some support Many thanks•
