Guides: Facebook Activism Guide Now Available in Arabic!

We are very excited to announce that The Digiactive Introduction to Facebook Activism has been translated to Arabic thanks to the folks over at the Social Media Exchange. This marks the first of at least two translations of the guide; a Spanish version will be coming soon!

The guide provides an overview of Facebook’s tools from an activist’s perspective with three case studies from Egypt, Burma, and Morocco.

Many thanks go out to Reine Mattar for doing the translation, as well as Jessica Dheere, Moustafa Ghaddar, Pascale Moussawbah, Mohamad Najem, Naziha Baassiri, and Ghita Abi-Hanna.

The Social Media Exchange provides media training and consulting to civil society and nonprofit organizations in Lebanon and, soon, throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Their mission is to encourage Internet adoption and multimedia expression in the region as a means of self-empowerment and self-advocacy.
