Initiatives

Since 2008, SMEX has initiated and implemented a range of training of trainer programs, advocacy campaigns, websites, and local and regional events along the following themes:

  • Access to information and knowledge-sharing, through training, both on-site and online at the SMEX Learning Center
  • Arabic-language content creation
  • Cross-border, learning-centered collaboration and exchange

Our 2012 initiatives include Shou Osstik?, a digital storytelling and social media program for Lebanese women; developing a self-directed online course in digital advocacy for Arab NGOs; and aggregating Arabic-language digital and social media materials into a widely accessible online database.

For more information about any of these programs, or to learn more about our initiatives, please connect with us.
