As a members of the course about the role of the media in the globalization and especially the role of the social network in our daily life, we decided to have a different look on our own experience of Facebook, Youtube and other social network.
Last year, we used it a lot.
We were members of a student association which organize two event every years.
Our student association is called Human ISC.
Even as exchange students in Hong-Kong, we are still part of it in France. The aim of our association is to help children living next to us. This is a proximity social help provide through several missions we will explain later in detail.
Last year, we organized two events :
-The Human Comedy Club, this is a humor show with some famous humorist in France who came and to a little sketch for free in order to gain money. With that money, we offer the opportunity to orphan to see the snow and to ski for the first time in their lifes.
-The Humanighty, is a party organized in a parisian club with a theme (which changes every years). The benefits of that event are given to a parisian association which provide nurses, games and other activities to the children who are living in the hospital.
By presenting those events, we aim to explain the main role of Facebook and Youtube especially, because as you'll see, we use it a lot and almost exclusively to promote and communicate about it.
We will although present our implication in those project and event : the events of last year in which we were really involved and the event of this year in which we more have the role of advisers and supporters for the freshmen.
