    • Why Learning Tech for Change?

      We find that there is a need for new ways of working with learning and capacity building in our organisations. There are many reasons for this. Often capacity building takes place in an international context where learners are geographically dispersed. New developments in technology enables learners (also in the global south) to access and participate in online and blended learning experiences. Commitments to lower the carbon footprint of the organisation should mean that we do not necessarily travel to do training. From a learning design perspective, the common way of doing capacity building as a one-off workshop is not the best way to ensure that learning takes place and that it is implemented in the day-to-day work of the organisation. 

      Since 2018, the Danish Red Cross Youth, Action Aid Denmark, and DanChurchAid have worked together on the project "Build Capacity Smarter" where we have explored the topics of digital learning, networked learning, and evidence of learning. We find that exchanging knowledge in this area is very fruitful, so we want to start an informal network for CSOs who do capacity building and are curious to explore these topics with us.

      We look forward to a great day of knowledge sharing with you.

      Who should participate

      The seminar is open, but we especially aim to connect people in the Danish CSO environment who work with learning and capacity building.

      Workshop Descriptions

      1 Mobile video as a knowledge sharing tool

      In this workshop, Maj Navntoft from Danish Red Cross Youth and Clara Christensen from MS ActionAid will introduce why and how they have used mobile video in their organisations and give examples of videos they have produced. The workshop will also include a small exercise of making and editing a mini-interview on your phone using the app KineMaster.

      NB! On November 27th MS ActionAid also hosts a full-day workshop to dive deeper into mobile video editing. This workshop is open for all.

      2 Building a chatbot

      Meet the chatbot Didi. Didi was built by MS Action Aid to help young activists who have attended a training at a Global Platform make an action plan. Didi now speaks three languages.

      In this workshop, Ida Hrönn Nielsen, Learning Specialist in MS Action Aid, will talk about why and how Didi was created and share insights from the development process and good advise for anyone who is interested in building a chatbot.  

      3 Online facilitation in webinars

      In this workshop, we will discuss best practices for online facilitation and share resources that you can use when planning an online workshop, training, or meeting. The workshop will be facilitated by Stephanie Rahbek Simonsen, learning designer and research lead at DCA Learning Lab. Stephanie will give a live demonstration of Adobe Connect and share her experience with online facilitation in Connect. 

      4 Networked learning in communities of practice

      During 2019, DCA launched nine Communities of Practice (CoP) on the learning platform fabo.org. In this workshop, Simon Skårhøj, head of DCA Learning Lab, will share thoughts on why and when CoPs are a good way of learning and sharing knowledge, experiences from launching the DCA CoPs, and tools for starting a CoP.

      5 Learning experience design

      How do you design good online or blended learning flows? How do you ensure that learners get full value of the learning design that you’ve created? In this workshop, Sidsel-Marie Winther Prag, learning experience design lead at DCA Learning Lab, will share some of the design tools used by Learning Lab and lead a discussion about good learning design principles.
