Morning!
It's an exciting day. I've been selected as a Digitally Connected Student Fellowship for the Social Good Summit 2012 by the United Nation Foundation. So, I am attending three day summit for free and even get paid. Cool! Alhamdulillah.
It is here in the 92Y Lexington Avenue, NYC. Scholars, students, bloggers, journalists, start-ups, and all social media enthusiasts is joining a global conversation on how social media (should) support human development. It's a three day events with a cramped schedule!
I met the lecture of New Media and Development Communication class (where I am in this semester), Anne Nelson. We had a little conversation while enjoying a bagel and a cup of coffee, talking on how media should provide people access into a better life. He picked an example on The Years of Living Dangerously where a radio could be a powerful tool to spread information and educate society. However, she said that the Good Summit 2011 was great!
Now, I am typing this post while sitting next to an International Politics student/journalist from Georgetown University, a Healtyreads.com start up founder from Canada, a Women Tech person, and another Georgetown student who originally come from Indonesia, Rio. I still have no idea what I will get from this event though, but it is a nice networking 'site'.
Ohya, based on the schedule, HE Ambassador of Indonesia to the US, Bapak Dino Patti Djalal, is also attending the event speaking on "How Digital is Redefining Diplomacy". Can't hardly wait!
It's cold morning. I guess I need to grab another cup of hot coffee! Blog to you later!
