DIGITAL EMPOWERMENT WORKSHOPS (DEW)



Purpose of the Workshops
​The Digital Empowerment Workshops are fundamental activities of Winds, designed to build the capacities of servants in local churches. These workshops aim to train ministers, church workers, and communities in using technology to enhance effective ministry.
To equip participants with the skills needed to:
-
Access the internet responsibly.
-
Use the internet safely.
-
Make appropriate use of social media.
-
Leverage applications that support Christian ministry.

Workshop Organization
The DEW are organized either solely by Winds or in partnership with other entities, such as Christian denominations or organizations, upon their request. The content of the workshops can be customized to meet the needs of the partner, focusing on enhancing the capacity of its members and staff.
The workshops typically include three main categories of training:
-
Practical Skills: These range from basic computer and smartphone usage to developing applications and maintaining equipment. Participants also learn to use specific Christian applications for personal edification and ministry, as well as leveraging social networks like Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram for ministry purposes.
-
Mindset Transformation: This component fosters a godly and ministry-focused approach to technology and digital tools.
-
Biblical Capacities: The workshops aim to develop personal spiritual growth and support ministerial activities and collaboration with Winds.

-
