About Potato, The scientific name of the plant is Solanum tuberosum (L).Christina Parmionova
The potato is a starchy root vegetable native to the Americas that is consumed as a staple food in many parts of the world. Potatoes are tubers of the plant Solanum tuberosum, a perennial in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Wild potato species can be found from the southern United States to southern Chile
Synopsis (short abstract) In December 2023, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 30 May as the International Day of Potato.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

2. What changes and what remains the same?
• Technology changes every day - it’s important to ground
yourself in the elements of storytelling that don’t change.
• Relatability – we have a compelling need to tell and
share stories.
• Selection and emphasis
• Beginning, middle and end
3. Content Creator
noun
A content creator produces entertaining or educational material that caters to the
interests and challenges of a target audience. The content they produce can take
many forms, including blog posts, videos, ebooks, photos, and infographics.
4. What we’ll discuss
• Social media
• Videos: social and explainer
• Animations
• Infographics and data
visualisation
• Best practice tips
6. Twitter
• How do you stand out on a social
network that has over 320 million
monthly active users?
• Attention grabbing, thumb-stopping
content
• Imagery is key
• https://spark.adobe.com/sp/projects
7. Uses of video
Content marketing
• Explainer videos
• Presentations
• Video blogs (vlogs)
• Webinars
• Adverts
• Interviews
• Live streams
8. Ask yourself
• Why do I want to tell this story?
• Who will be watching this?
• What’s my angle?
• What should they take away from this?
• Why will they care about this story?
• What value will this provide?
9. Video and Animation
Good for showing processes
Important to have a clear script and to
practice communicating it

(Sprout Social)
12. Keep it short

• Be attention grabbing – have your main message in the first few
seconds
• Don’t require sound – imagine your own behaviour on social
media
• Add captions/subtitles
• Upload natively (uploading file directly, rather than linking it) –
more likely to be seen on Facebook
15. The value of data visualisation
https://vimeo.com/29684853
16. How do you decide when data will
benefit from visual storytelling?
17. Quantity & character
Quantity of data
• More than one number, usually
multivariate.
• Not just putting a number in a circle.
• comparison
• change
• composition
Character or type of data
• When visualising will speed up or deepen
understanding.
19. Colour
• Great when used well. Otherwise, it can
distract or misdirect
• Use a single colour to represent the same
type of data.
• Watch out for strong colour associations
• Select colours appropriately. Some colours
stand out more than others, giving
unnecessary weight to that data.

21. Using data to tell a story
1. Only visualise your data when it’s necessary.
Sometimes the information is stronger as text.
2. One story per chart/ infographic.
Audience, medium and subject matter will determine the size and shape of your story.
3. If your infographic has many sections, break it into
manageable chunks.
Think about how you memorise a phone number.
23. • Colour: Stick to a few colors within your colour scheme.
• Hierarchy: Lead your reader’s eye through your work.
• Illustrations: Make sure they complement content, not
overpower.
• Typography: Use one font family and consistent weights and
sizes throughout.
• Data: Visualise where it will help the reader, avoid redundancy,
and present the data in the most compelling format.
• Icons: Use icons that are clear
• Format: Know where your work will live, and optimise it for that
platform.
General design tips
Editor's Notes
Democratisation of storytelling technology.
Cheaper and quicker to get a story made and online
Free/cheap software and tools, videos filmed on phones, podcasts recorded on phones, images taken on phones.
A lot of these are inter-connected, especially now. So when I talk about social media I’ll be talking about images infographics and video. And when I’m talking about each of them specifically, I’ll be talking about social media, and so on.
I’m mainly going to be showing you some best practice examples of some of these and then providing some tips and some helpful websites at the end. I’ll share around these slides after as well.
Instagram – popularity of instagram stories
Facebook – harder to reach audiences without paying now
Replying to people to increase engagement
The way the algorithm works & the way our brain works – we process images faster than we do text. Our attention is also piqued by images.
Mention content marketing here: providing the viewer with useful information. There’s value in watching it. Ask if anyone has seen those Tasty videos where they show you how to make a meal or a cake in about 30 seconds.
By 2022, online videos will make up more than 82% of all consumer internet traffic — 15 times higher than it was in 2017. (Cisco)
