Thank You

The Sudanese Knowledge Society is happy to announce that by the end of Part II we have 5 citizen science projects (out of the 10) that may see the light in the near future depending on how hard we work on them of course. Two groups merged because of similarities between their projects (projects 7 and 8, both on environmental education), and other groups registered but could not join the two days event.

We intend (a) to follow up with the 5 citizen science projects that emerged from this effort, (b) to continue with this training package and keep improving it, as well as (c) to reach out to more groups who have interest to explore the problems they are working on from a citizen science perspective. Please connect with us if interested.

For now, let us congratulate ourselves and these 5 teams:

1.    Rawah Hassan and Sami Mohamed (Sexual Harassment)

2.    Orwa Abbas and Muiz Mohamed (Public Transportation)

3.    Sarah Abdalla (Access to Energy)

4.    Enayat Salih, Menas Mahjoub, Marwan Awad, Gada Kadoda, and Fatima Salah (The Nature’s Diary)

5.    Sahl Yasin and Awad Ahmed (Water Quality Gaps)

It is with great pleasure that we announce that Orwa and Muiz, who are working on the transportation problem, were the furthest along in their project thinking by the end of the two-day event, and therefore awarded the Knowledge Management book that was offered by one of its authors and an old friend to the SKS, Paul Corney.

Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in this event, and much appreciation to our participants. We wish everyone the very best for their projects. Let us continue the good work!

Welcome

(Updated 4 February 2020)

A huge welcome to the second part of the Citizen Science Series that started with a Symposium in November 2019.  In this second part, held on the 1st and 8th of February 2020, we want to work with you to take your ideas of a citizen science project into fruition.  This brief introduction will give you an idea of what we plan to do in this event on the two days' program.

We are very grateful for the generosity of Mr. Paul Corney, one of the co-authors of The KM Cookbook, for offering a signed copy of this valuable book to the citizen science project that goes the furthest through the upcoming activity of the Sudanese Knowledge Society. It is worth noting that Paul has been a friend of our group since 2012 and supportive of our activities. Thanks Paul.

From Left to Right, The KM Cookbook Authors: Paul, Patricia and Chris.

We want to thank Sudan National Museum and The Regional Center for Training and Development of the Civil Society for their support by hosting the two-Saturdays event free of charge. 

Please note that the First Saturday (1 February) is held at the Museum on Nile Street and the Second Saturday (8 February) is held at the Center in Amarat Street 53 - see map).
