Best practices in online outreach and activism across multiple cultures
Dear AIR Colleagues, I'm asking this question on behalf of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (<http://ippnweupdate.wordpress.com/> and <http://ippnw.org>). As you can probably imagine, this group mobilizes physicians and medical students from around world to abolish nuclear weapons. They also work to prevent injuries caused by conventional weapons. IPPNW (with a little help from yours truly) is currently looking at the way that it uses online resources for outreach, activism, advocacy, and organizing among its stakeholders. While the physicians and medical students share the experience of a medical education, they are not all from a single culture and do not all speak English as a first language. Therefore the team at the international office is looking for best practices in online outreach, activism, advocacy, and organizing across multiple cultures. Any suggestions? Links to peer-reviewed research and how-to manuals would be extremely welcome. Many thanks and best regards from Deborah Deborah Elizabeth Finn Cyber-Yenta Boston, Massachusetts, USA deborah_elizabeth_finn@post.harvard.edu www.cyber-yenta.org Skype: Deborah909 Twitter: Deborah909 LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/deborah909 "Nothing softeneth the Arrogance of our Nature like a Mixture of some Frailties. It is by them that we are best told, that we must not strike too hard upon others....They pull our Rage by the sleeve and whisper Gentleness to us in our censures." -George Savile (1633 - 1695)
