Diasporas cry for
social change
Diasporas around the
world are working to bring positive social change to their global communities.
These leaders harness
the passion, energy, and resources of their peer Diasporas to convene, engage,
and make impact in various sectors and regions.
One well-known
challenge to this work is engaging the next generation of Diasporas, in
particular millennials, in development. Millennials can be difficult for
organizations to engage for a number of reasons, including the challenge of
finding causes that appeal across generations and the need to adapt
communications methods to better resonate with younger generations.
In addition, many Millennials are a generation
or more removed from their countries of heritage and have a less direct
connection for diaspora organizations to build upon. Despite these challenges,
effectively engaging millennials is something diaspora organizations need to
consider and plan for.
During this webinar two diaspora groups who are successfully engaging the millennial generation. Group Echo Haiti and the Armenian National Committee of America will share their successes and lessons learned for engaging the next generation of Diasporas.
