Afartan Partnered with SPA in Blog Writing Training
The Somali Public Agenda (SPA) and Digital Shelter (Afartan) recognized a critical gap – the limited capacity for young Somalis to engage in blog writing. This lack of experienced bloggers restricted the diversity of voices and perspectives online.
By leveraging Afartan’s network of seasoned bloggers, Afartan designed and delivered a comprehensive blogging course. These trainers didn’t just provide technical skills like writing and publishing; they also shared their personal experiences and offered mentorship, creating a supportive environment for the young learners.
