Dear NASeA Family
NASeA’s Children and Youth Committee is proud to launch monthly Children-to-Children Webinar. The first one will be held Friday, Nov 18 at 09.00 PM Eastern Time. This webinar is exclusively for children of pre-teen or early-teen age category (7 year-14 years) to share their hobbies, talents and interests in any area — sports, reading, writing, music, singing, dancing, poem/ essay etc. A household (in NASeA mailing list) with a children of this age category will soon receive an invitation to join the webinar.
Does your child wishes to share something in the webinar?
We are looking for children, 7-14 years, who wish to share their hobby, talent, interest etc to other children via the webinar. The hobby or talent could be in any area — sports, writing/ reading, music, singing, dancing, poem. essay etc. Parents are highly recommended to encourage their children to share and discuss in the webinar. Your child could be a performer at the next children-to-children webinar. Please contact the following moderators for questions or information
Sushma Bajracharya esushma.shrestha@hotmail.com
Sangita Dongol sangitadongol@gmail.com
How does the Webinar work?
A webinar is conference over the web. The moderator of the webinar shares the screen of her/ his computer to the participants who have joined the webinar from anywhere in the US (or outside). The invited parent of the age-eligible child gets a link to click to view the webinar and a conference call and passcode to listen to the webinar.
What are the technical requirement I need to join the webinar?
All you need is a computer or a laptop with good internet connections to view the webinar and a cell phone to listen to the webinar. There are many webinar service-providers but NASeA has chosen the free provider called anymeeting www.anymeeting.com
Will I get an invitation to participate?
This webinar is exclusively for pre-teen or early teen children with the (approximate) age range of 7-14 years. The Children and Youth Committee is sorting NASeA mailing list to identify household with children of the above age category. One household with children will get one email invitation. Parents are highly encouraged to have their child take part in this webinar. Parents who gets the invitation are requeted to help their child open the webinar and stay with them during the course of the webinar.
Why only children of age range 7-14 (pre-teen and early teen) are encouraged to participate?
We believe children below 7 years are too young to share in the webinar and for the children above the age of 14, NASeA has other programs that interest them more like sports etc. Of course there are children who are exceptionally talented at younger age, but in general 7-14 years is the recommended age. However the children beyond the age range of 7-14 years are welcome to watch the webinar together with their sibling of 7-14 years.
Can any number of participant join the webinar?
This webinar being a free service allows only a maximum number of 200 participants. So we are trying to reach out to as many age-eligible children as possible.
What are the highlights of your first webinar on Nov 18 Webinar?
At 09.00 PM on Nov 18 (Friday), the moderator will begin the webinar and let everyone participate. One child (to be determined) will share her/his talent for the first part of the hour. In the second part, another child will talk about one selected culture or festival. The moderator will also share any news or annoucement relevant to the children.
I have a child/children in my household. Will I get the webinar invitation?
NASeA is trying best not to miss any household in NASeA region that has children of 7-14 years range however it is going to miss some. If you have a child in the age range 7-14 please send an email to either Sushma Bajracharya or Sangita Dongol in email addresses above so that we ensure you get invited.
How is the webinar going to help my children?
This webinar is expected to inspire your children in learning from the interest, hobby and talents of other children. It is also expected to boost their confidence and expand their imaginary horizon.
Why NASeA is doing this monthly webinar?
NASeA is equally for children as it is for the adults, and NASeA need to reach out to children. Children learn and get inspired quickly if they hear and see what other do. Also, children of Nepalese origin need to appreciate Nepalese heritage and culture. This webinar not only share the talents or hobbies of children but also sensitize them with Nepalese culture, values and tradition.
Since this is a new initiative, NASeA will be constantly evaluating the event getting feedback and suggestions from all. We ask for your support in making this monthly webinar as beneficial to children as possible.
Next, please stay tuned for updates. Parents with (pre-teen or early teen) children should expect to get invitation by early next week to join the webinar on Friday, Nov 18 at 09.00 PM ET.
