Eight minute video documenting the development of digital activism in Lebanon as a tool for organizing, facilitating outreach, encouraging dialogue and raising money. It also sets the stage for more experimenting with Social Media for social change.
Founded in May 2 008, the Social Media Exchange provides media training and consulting to civil society and nonprofit organizations in Lebanon and, soon, throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Their mission is to encourage Internet adoption and multimedia expression in the region as a means of self-empowerment and self-advocacy. www.SMEx.org
