Make Your Own Populism Travel Guide
If you’re willing to guide people through their travel to populism in your country, then first things first, you must introduce people to your beloved country. You should know that some people might be ignorant about the visa requirements, and for that specific reason, and again as a responsible global citizen, you need to inform people about the things they may need to take into consideration, so that they can enjoy their travel through populism. Then you may need to research populist trends affecting your country. Perhaps, you might even be able to surface some solutions created by people in your country to inspire others.
So what do you do first? You research your country and the populist movements surrounding them. Next, you move to the writing part, where you introduce your country, articulate visa requirements, identify the problems, and offer solutions. In addition, it would be helpful for you to include some pictures, videos or infographics, so that people can better relate. Follow the template below to organize your guide correctly and upload it to the map.
We invite you to add your country to our guide! Make your own Medium post and follow the following steps:
Step zero: Brainstorming! Think about what you want to accomplish, who your audience is, and what kind of content you want to share with your community.
Step 1: Give your Medium Post a title that describes your location, be it a country, a city or a region.
Step 2: Think about and identify elements of populism in your country and write a paragraph outlining these problems or successes.
Step 3: Using this information create your own Visa! Make sure you include the best tips and survival strategies when in your country to advise fellow users.
Step 4: If you identified problems with populism in your country, identify some possible solutions to how you think they could be solved! Find inspiring projects and social movements that respond to the problems you identified, and write a little bit about them. Make sure to add a picture for each of your inspiring solutions!
Step 5: After publishing your very own “travel guide” on medium, add your medium post to our collaborative map.
Navigate to the link: https://travelguide.ushahidi.io/views/map
Then, click on the plus sign at the top left. Copy the link to your published Medium post. Use the title of your medium post as the title of your entry here! Paste the link to your medium post in the ‘description’ field. Next, type your country or city’s name into the location finder. Select the result that best describes your location, and your entry will be automatically geolocated on the map!
Conclusion: By adding your intervention to our Hitchhiker’s Guide to Populism, you’re becoming more of a global citizen and helping other to understand both positives and/or negatives to populism around the world. Understanding populism contextually allows others to understand the way populism functions in all areas of the world regardless of where you are from.
