Due March 2nd!
In West Africa, a Griot is a storyteller, a singer, a history keeper and an agent of cultural change. Echoing this tradition, ONE and Malaria No More are excited to launch the fourth round of the Malaria Griots Project, a program designed to train passionate volunteers into powerful spokespersons in the fight against malaria.
What does it mean to become a Malaria Griot?
Selected Malaria Griots will kick-off their experience with a two-month online course, housed on Blackboard Inc.’s online learning ProSitesTM platform. The in-depth course will include live discussions with leading malaria experts, access to cutting-edge articles and the opportunity to participate in current malaria campaigns. As a student of the Malaria Griots Project, you will witness stories of Africans fighting to overcome the disease, work with engaging multimedia content, and ultimately become a leading advocate in the fight against malaria.
Through this interactive course, ONE and Malaria No More will equip you with the tools to be a local advocate in your community, a spokesperson for the media, an engaging presenter at neighborhood church basement meetings and an educator to everyone you meet. We need more Griots working to change lives and help rid the world of this disease.
This is your opportunity to be a part of the story and to truly make a difference — because with ONE voice, we can make Malaria No More.
Special thanks to Elliott Masie, Chair, The Learning CONSORTIUM
