Digital Engagement - New Rules for New Times
Below parts of an opinion on another blog. See for the complete entree: Communicopia's blog.
Digital Insights Newsletter Inspiration, ideas and tactics for change-makers.
Submitted by Leslie Dickout on June 28, 2010 - 11:31am.
Jennifer Lee, a bright, energetic woman was one of a full house of participants attending an all-day digital engagement workshop hosted by the Justice Institute of British Columbia.The session was led by Jason Mogus, who's presentation, "Digital Engagement - New Rules for New Times," seemed to be the perfect fuel for Jennifer's already burning fire for the digital space.
When I asked her at the break what she was getting so far out of the session, her eyes lit up and she said, "Finally someone is talking about how there is more to digital then just our website or Facebook page!"
And she's right, digital is more than just a channel, it represents an entire organization, and not just as a communications tool, but as a tool that supports many, if not all of an organization’s functions. Digital also points to an entirely new function most institutions aren’t so good at yet: listening and community engagement. Today, the organizations that truly succeed build digital into the core of what they do. But more often than not, institutions still don't have the vision, structures or processes in place that will lead them to major success.
Jennifer: "It's all about having a holistic view on the world, no longer in silos. I mean, these days, digital touches all aspects of our lives!"

Saed Nashef on Internet for the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize
Every day we search on YouTube for video's about new and historical subjects. This video is very impressive. We agree:
They deserve an Award. Its a candidate for our Four Freedoms. Maybe Freedomhouse-Art herself should start her own FFAwards for arts for freedom.

On Paul Coelho's post:
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, born 18 July 1918
June 2010, Nelson Mandela returns to his cell
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.
It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger.
Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement. Only free men can negotiate; prisoners cannot enter into contracts.
There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
Your freedom and mine cannot be separated. There is no such thing as part freedom
When the water starts boiling it is foolish to turn off the heat.
Inspiring start of the day.
This morning the BBC World Service radio broadcasted an interview about Greg Mortenson who climbed K2 in the Himalayan Mountains and got lost, ending up at the wrong size of the mountain in a Pakistan village. Wrong became absolutely right. Watch the video, look for more heartwarming stories about the effect of Kashmir's famous hospitality in 'Three Cups of Tea'. and 'the Asian Institute for Peace'
Our day began very good. We think this man deserves a Freedom Award next year.
