Key Activities in September
In September, we embarked on a journey to build a cohesive and organized U-Ambassadors cohort for 2023.
Here are the key activities that unfolded during the Sept 2023.
Onboarding
Upon finalizing the prospective U-Ambassadors, we received a warm and informative onboarding letter that we signed and updated to UNICEF for documentation.
To mark our induction, we participated in a welcoming call organized by UNICEF, officially initiating us into the U-Ambassador cohort of 2023.
Orientation
Our journey continued with a comprehensive U-Report India orientation meeting. We delved into ongoing and past projects, digital assets (including U-Report India's newsletter, public-facing website, and social media platforms), and more. This orientation also served as our introduction to the fellow cohort members, fostering a sense of unity.
Team Formation
After officially onboarding the
U-Ambassadors from different states,
a strong need of forming focus groups was observed and several regions and states was formed.
Regional Division
Regional Division: To create an efficient structure, smaller states were grouped into regions, while large states stood individually.
Regional Structure
Region 1 (17 Members)
Region 2 (23 Members)
Region 3 (18 Members)
Madhya Pradesh, representing the largest state, was acknowledged as an independent region with 15 members.
Nodal Election
Following regional division, we held open elections to designate Nodal leaders. Each region selected one male and one female leader, resulting in a total of 10 Nodals.
Nodals took on the role of keeping their respective teams informed about program activities and updates.
Advisor Selection
Acknowledging the need for internal cohesion and quality assurance, an Advisor was to be chosen by the Nodal Team to work on maintaining ongoing activity records and coordinating the alignment of objectives across regions. All potential candidates participated in two rounds and Advisor was finalized.
