In Wellington New Zealand we have an annual collaboration of fashion photography enthusiasts all come together to upskill, share and network. Each participant gets to do six photo shoots over the weekend. At this years collaboration we completed more than 200 photo shoots. We had such a good time. This is one of those photographs taken at the GTC2018 event.
Have been asked to do some video work with stills etc for a couple of portfolios when covid settles down somewhat so methought had better start upskilling the video efforts and watching some Youtube how too's.... and cannot get too serious so a bit of fun was needed. See if you notice the contradiction.

A picture taken for a DiDA upskilling task. A small white-ish candle on a piece of black card that had just been blown out. I put my camera in continuous shooting mode and chose the one with the most interesting smoke.
I bought blank A1 card in both black and white for macro stuff a while back, but have only used to white to date. I quite like the effect the black has, actually... I should use it more often in the future.

Rural entrepreneurs can have a hard time succeeding without the support of an established value chain, effective networks and infrastructure. One project partner company, set up by the county Bureau of Culture, has helped Tu craftswomen in Tu Wushi village to connect to a larger value chain.
“In my youth, I used to travel from one Buddhist temple to another with my artworks on my back to make sales,” says Huang. “Sales and marketing are now taken care of for us so the women embroider in our community can concentrate on their craft.” The company also helps with networking, upskilling, and, using a guaranteed repurchase model, with income stability.

As a sector all about people, Travel & Tourism’s recovery is contingent on having adequate and skilled labour. Shifting trends and skills requirements require the sector attracts, retains, and upskills its workforce and equips teams to better understand and live out sustainability, diversity, and inclusion goals. How can businesses and destinations alike deeply engage with communities and maintain their authenticity, whilst upskilling their talent to enhance their competitiveness and advance the agenda towards sustainability, diversity, and inclusion?

21st-CENTURY JOBS: TRAINING EMPLOYEES FOR A DIGITAL AGE
As automation, digitization, and advances in AI continue to disrupt the way we work, the skills needed to succeed in this new era are in short supply, creating a new global battle for talent. It’s more vital than ever for companies to invest in “upskilling” existing employees. With what toolkits do we arm current workers so they can compete and flourish in this new terrain? How can companies train future talent and build skills through real-world experience? What can leaders do to ensure that underserved demographics get the skills needed to create long-lasting careers?

In an effort to align with the USAID Digital Strategy and recognize USAID Missions, Bureaus and partners that are empowering countries in a digital age, USAID launched the 2022 Digital Development Awards (the Digis), the fourth round of these awards. The Digis recognize and celebrate USAID-funded projects and activities that use digital technology to sustain open, secure, and inclusive digital ecosystems in order to improve measurable development and humanitarian-assistance outcomes. After receiving nearly 200 applications from USAID Missions around the world, five winners were selected for the 2022 Digital Development Awards, including USAID/Regional Development Mission for Asia: Digital Asia Accelerator, implemented by DAI’s Digital Frontiers.
As one of the fastest growing regions, the Indo-Pacific provides significant opportunities for businesses and citizens to participate in the digital economy. However, the region’s rapid digital transformation means that people and businesses without internet access or the necessary digital skills are being left behind from this new economic reality. Cyber attacks, combined with low awareness of cybersecurity issues, are a growing threat to the digital safety of citizens and businesses.
To respond to this need, USAID/RDMA developed the Digital Asia Accelerator (DAA). Implemented by DAI’s Digital Frontiers and part of the Digital Connectivity and Cybersecurity Partnership (DCCP), DAA used three main approaches to reach key audiences in Southeast Asia and Mongolia. These approaches included working with partners like Microsoft and WhatsApp for Business to provide targeted digital upskilling and cybersecurity support through training and coaching, creating opportunities for the MSME community to learn about digital policies that would affect their businesses to help them effectively engage policymakers on these issues, and partnering with artists, local media, and companies like Meta to develop creative communication campaigns to raise awareness and build capacity among citizens to employ key cybersecurity practices and hygiene.
One specific project was a Mongolian-based contest, “Only Mine,” aimed to raise awareness of cybersecurity. The contest partnered with Love Frankie, a social impact agency, and Viral Partners, a marketing and advertising firm to design and implement the campaign, which reached nearly 3 million Mongolians online. The dance contest winners, Tamir and Byamba, choreographed and filmed a video to the contest’s theme song, with lyrics centered on cybersecurity education. After the video won, its viral presence online helped push cybersecurity awareness and education across different cities and communities of Mongolia.
When asked how they utilized the dance as a story-telling opportunity, Byamba shared, “We wanted to help others realize that this is an invasion of personal space.”
The Accelerator’s ability to convene large-scale policy forums with leaders from participating countries, combined with an emphasis on youth engagement through informative educational content hosted on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, allowed the project to reach an expansive and diverse set of stakeholders.
