My Climate Change Story Workshop is an NGO CSW 66 parallel event. This workshop will prepare women globally with an intergenerational lens to go into their communities and use their cell phone to create a 3 to a 7-minute video that will be uploaded to the IAWRT My Climate Change YouTube channel. In a 120-minute session, we will teach the women and girls how to create a thesis statement and then a storyboard to illustrate how climate change has affected their lives and the lives of their communities. After learning how to use their cameras to capture their stories, they will receive an overview on how to edit their video and upload it to the IAWRT YouTube channel. A list of resources will be available online for interested participants to access after the session concludes. Themes emerging from these stories will be highlighted and used to initiate and forge networks, conversations, and collaboration to craft appropriate and relevant solutions. One of the goals is to teach women and girls to use their cell phones to tell their own stories. My Climate Change Story YouTube Channel is a laboratory for innovation and solutions that can be shared and emulated globally. Organizers: IAWRT and IAWRT-USA (International Association of Women in Radio and Television), Women in Media - Newark, Wings Radio.

Positive Media For Mother Africa
LIVE: Africa and her people have always been looked down upon by western nations for centuries with a perception of backwardness, tribalism and incapability to develop by her own with her people. General Negative media publicity linked to poverty, inhumane savage culture, diseased and conclusively a Dark-Continent define mother Africa. The paradigm setting is largely created by the media narratives since the media is the giant in setting opinions, point of information reference and forms perceptions. But how much has Africa and her people have contributed to the negative narratives and what has Africa done to counter the foreign negative portrayal. It is upon this background that International Association of Women in Radio and Television (IAWRT) Uganda Chapter is challenging Africa and her people to become deliberate and intentional at focusing on the strength and positive strides to rebuild the motherland pride within and without. The discussants are deliberately and selectively identified based on their individual ability to counter negative media publicity against mother Africa with the enormous positive strides for the pride of Africa. The panel of discussants will have a minimum of 7 women champions with the day’s key note speaker. Each champion will be apportioned 10 minutes to identify the real problems of negative portrayal of Africa and way forward.
