One aspect of the 'Saradar IT Programme'® is to advocate for the right of all to access ICT and to promote the importance of information technology as a tool, an alternative to recuperate disadvantaged and marginalised communities in order to facilitate their re-insertion in society. Partnering and networking with the media, for the third year in a row, has actively contributed to spread our message and prompted private enterprises and other institutions to collaborate with the 'Saradar IT Programme'® with a view to consolidate and extend its scope of its activities.

Press announcements
‘Our partnership with the three leading newspapers, An-Nahar, L’Orient-Le Jour and the International Herald Tribune/The Daily Star includes SITP announcements to be published on a weekly basis. These advertisements indicate the caravan’s various locations and schedules. But most importantly, they carry the different messages the programme wants to disseminate as part of its awareness and advocacy activity. Specific themes are highlighted all year long, related to children, women, rural areas, people with additional needs, etc.


Press communiqués
Three to four times a year, press communiqués are released by ‘Fondation Saradar’ to focus on special events or IT activities undertaken by the SITP. Special attention is given to women and children, as well as to displaced villages or disabled people.


Branding
Two new logos were added on both sides of the caravan, in compliance with the partnership agreement established with ‘l’Orient-Le Jour’ and ‘the Daily Star’.


Web banners
In accordance with the media package provided to SITP partners, ‘Fondation Saradar’ develops special web banners to be posted on the sponsors’ websites, which are directly linked to the Foundation’s SITP web pages.

The media covered extensively the Saradar IT Programme. Fifteen days following its formal launching, the Computer Mobile School was announced in 22 articles and ads published by various newspapers, weekly and monthly magazines. 

Three TV spots were dedicated to this very innovative project in Lebanon, the first initiative to introduce IT to disadvantaged regions of the country.

Also, a special advertising can be noticed, regularly, in An-Nahar, the leading Arabic-speaking newspaper as well as in L'Orient-Le Jour, the only French-speaking newspaper in Lebanon to reach potential candidates about the opportunity to enroll in this programme. 

Additionally, special web banners were posted on our partners’ home pages for wider information dissemination.
