Internet Society members are vital to carrying our message of an open, globally-connected, and secure Internet for all.<\/p>\n
Because members bring such great value, experience, and knowledge to our organization, we\u2019ve designed a new training program just for them: The Internet Society Fundamentals program<\/strong>. The program was inspired by the great experience we had with 2020 Chapter training program as well as feedback on specific needs, requirements, challenges and the COVID-19 context.<\/p>\n Internet Society Fundamentals aims to develop new community leaders equipped to tell data-driven stories about the Internet Society\u2019s key projects. This will equip members to work with their Chapters to create local awareness, extending the reach of our work for an Internet as a force for good.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In its first year, the program consists of two full weeks of webinars linked to Internet Society projects. Sessions will be held from 12-23 April, 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n During each webinar, we will cover the project\u2019s main concepts with a focus on narrative and strategies to approach multiple audiences. In this way, Chapter members can feel empowered to raise awareness through concrete local initiatives that support the development and positioning of the Chapter.<\/p>\n In 2021, Internet Society Fundamentals is open to all Chapter Members* whose Chapters are subscribed to the program. Members who are eligible to participate will receive the registration details by email. Sessions are in English, Spanish and French, and will be held in four time zones. In order to get a Certificate of Completion, each participant must perform a local awareness initiative based on the content and the information shared during the webinars. Initiatives must be arranged locally with Chapter coordinators assigned to the program.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nAbout the program<\/h3>\n
