Lonestar Cell MTN holds "empowerment" highly in its ethos. The MoMo Heroes Of Change (MHOC) program is a platform setup to empower Liberians who singlehandedly (and in teams) tackle ills and issues in their communities with the objective of effecting positive social change. MHOC goes beyond empowering these individuals and organizations with cash prizes, but also provides a formidable platform for exposure. Our contestants include their MHOC credentials to their portfolio as a guaranteeing factor to how authentic and solid their operations as social changemakers are. The recently concluded 2024 edition saw Mr James Pabi Kwabo emerge as the winner of the event, and other runner-ups and participants being awarded accordingly. These participants all rank as a pantheon of heroes in Liberia, and the world at large. We strongly advise that you watch out for the next edition of this empowering, educative and entertaining event, as Lonestar Cell MTN and the Liberian audience identify the next set of heroes in our communities. #Liberia #MTNLiberia #LonestarCellMTN #MoMo #MoMoHeroesOfChange #RecognizingLiberiasChangemakers #2024

<div class="gfm-embed" data-url="https://lnkd.in/eeQEDtqZ"></div><script defer src="https://lnkd.in/esbndbNg"></script> I launched a crowdfunding campaign a couple of days back with an aim to raise £2000 toward gettin my opera 'Pawn Queen' produced. This is a 2 stage campaign. The funds raised from this first stage will go to hire The Arts Fundraisers consultants. They are best experienced at securing the funds that I need from the Arts Council of England (ACE). Once the funds from ACE are secure (ACE furnishes 90% of the money required for a project, with a stipulation the remaining 10% comes from the bidder, me in this instance). So day three since I posted this crowdfunding appeal on social media, and here is an update. 7 donors have altogether provided me with £124. That's over 5% toward my goal, which I am quite enthused about, especially as it is my first ever crowdfund appeal. So if you are reading this then do take time to peruse the link and make a donation. Your money goes to making new opera happen! Thanks 👋 https://gofund.me/78fec0bf

Crafting an Effective Media Relations Campaign: A Case Study 🌟 An effective media relations campaign hinges on presenting a newsworthy program. The key is to captivate media interest with a story that is unique and impactful. For Utah Festival Opera, their "Opera by Children" program provided the perfect narrative. 🎭 "Opera by Children" stands out because it's not just an educational initiative; it’s an immersive experience fostering creativity and collaboration among young students. The program partners with schools, guiding and inspiring children to create and stage their own operas. This hands-on approach transforms the arts education landscape, making it an ideal candidate for media coverage. 📸 Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/eBbEXEz4 #MediaRelations #PublicRelations #ArtsEducation #YouthEmpowerment #EducationInnovation #Nonprofits #NonprofitSuccess #Fundraising #NonprofitGrowth #Philanthropy #NonprofitMarketing #NonprofitFundraising #StrategicCommunications #NonprofitConsulting #FundraisingConsulting #MarketingConsulting #CommunicationsStrategy #FundraisingStrategies #MarketingStrategies #VivaStrategic

Addressing Domestic Violence Through Forum Theatre a two year project delivered by Intercultural Roots funded by the Peabody Community Fund External Evaluation & Impact Report Year One - By Claire Burrell. The "Addressing Domestic Violence Through Forum Theatre" project, led by Intercultural Roots and funded by the Peabody Community Fund, has seen remarkable success in its first year. The workshops, expertly facilitated by Drs. Almiro Andrade and Andrea Maciel, have promoted personal growth, relational confidence, and community cohesion. As the project moves into its second year, commencing in late summer, those interested in participating should stay tuned for further information. The full evaluation and impact report by Claire Burrell, along with a related video, provides deeper insights into the project's significant achievements and future potential. ‘The report presents how the pioneering arts for health and social change organisation, Intercultural Roots, are using Forum Theatre (Boal, A.1992) to engage communities in the question; how do we live with violence? The two year project, which is funded by the Peabody Community Fund, is bringing together Peabody Housing tenants and local residents to discuss, express and explore issues of violence and conflict in their lives and local communities. At the conclusion of its first year, the report locates how the Forum Theatre workshops are creating safe spaces and holding secure boundaries for people to recall, enact and consider their subjective and collective concerns. The evaluation brings forward how this creative forum enables participants to refresh their experience of relational connectivity, promoting deeper understanding of how conflict manifests in each others lives and deepening a sense of belonging to community. The highly positive outcomes in the first year, locate how the project has successfully nurtured personal growth in the lives of participants, enhancing relational confidence, social change and the co-creation of community.’ Please read the full report: https://lnkd.in/evT6wf_9 Year 2 activities in London starting around Aug / Sept '24 - call out coming soon... #theatre #theater #performance #socialchange #forumtheatre #communitytheatre #participatorytheatre #theatreoftheoppressed #Boal #acting #actor #theatrelife #art #artsforchange #education #activism #advocacy #socialjustice #creativity #mentalhealth
