1) Rationale and context of the assignment. The Digital Strategy Section (DSS) within the Division of Communication (DOC) comprises Web, Social Media and Multimedia teams working together to create compelling public-facing content and to provide digital services within the organization. Through multiple platforms and in multiple languages, DSS draws attention to the ma ny facets of UNICEF's work, encouraging public support, participation and action, as well as ensuring greater transparency and accountability. Web stories, blog entries, photo essays, Facebook posts, Twitter campaigns, and videos for distribution via UNICEF.org, YouTube, news media and other outlets and platforms - all are a part of our digital storytelling. By measuring and testing our efforts, we also use data to inform content and engagement choices.
In 2014 the Voices of Youth team in DSS launched a global blogging internship to increase engagement on Voices of Youth and to strengthening the capacity of young people to express themselves through digital media and tools. Within each internship intake a small group of young people is selected on a competitive basis to participate in a remote, time-bound, intensive blogging internship, with one-on-one mentorship.
Building on nearly two years of adolescent and youth engagement on climate change and environmental issues through blogging and digital mapping, the Voices of Youth team plans to focus the first 2017 blogging internship on climate and environment. This is also one of DOC's key contributions to UNICEF's Strategic Framework on Environmental Sustainability for Children 2016-2017 which commits UNICEF under priority #3 to "support children and adolescents to strengthen their awareness, knowledge, skills and engagement to promote sustainability among their peers and in their community".
