The most rewarding experience of our GNML online program.

 In my personal experience, Global New Media Lab was one of the most useful and interesting online programs, I’ve taken before. I always had some ideas of projects, that could be meaningful in different areas, but honestly they have never crossed the border between my mind and the real world outside. In some point, it was because of teenage laziness, but it also was because of diffidence. I always thought that to change something in society or find any kind of support for your fresh ideas you have to spend enormous amount of time in looking for people, who will understand you. That seemed to be impossible for me. And then one day, GNML literally appears in my life and says: “Hey, you know what? It’s not as horrible as it seems, I’ll show you”.  And it helped. This course opened my eyes on how easy it can be to reach the target. It showed me a new way of how human mind can cooperate with technological advance, and how this cooperation can promote the real changes and development. The most rewarding part I’ve taken from GNML was making my own blog, which helped to represent my own voice and thoughts to a big audience of people, who may care about the same social issue.
