UN Transforming Education Summit

Submitted by ed on
Body

GreenNet worked with UNESCO's SDG4 secretariat to build and host the online community and knowledge hub for the UN TES in September 2022. We used Drupal Social to create a space for discussions and knowledge sharing, using Drupal taxonomy to cross reference data and resources on strategic development goals. The development took place iteratively before during and after the summit, presenting videos and streams from the event as well as practical information for participants

The websito uses online translation into 40 languages. The country map is integrated into the UN website at https://www.un.org/en/transforming-education-summit/national-consultationscomm

WES Centenary Map

Submitted by ed on
Body

We enjoyed this project which involved creative use of open tech for gender equality - just the sort of thing GreenNet likes best!

Women's Engineering Society were funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and worked with Wellcome Foundation to carry out this innovative project, celebrating 100 years of WES and aiming to increase recognition of women engineers. We were involved at an early stage to plan the technical proposal the and contribute to the funding bid.

We built a map that uses Wikidata to access live structured data from wikipedia to display new addtions of notable women engineers to Wikipedia, the map is searchable and pulls information and images featured on each pin from wikipedia. WES ran events and a comms campaign to encourage constributions.

WES has had many notable members with fascinating lives and careers, yet the only member who features widely in the popular historical narrative is pilot Amy Johnson. Our WES Centenary Map aims to help redress this, by showcasing new and improved Wikipedia entries about historical women engineers as pins on our map.

The Wikipedia and Wikidata entries the map is based on are being generated by volunteers, trained and engaged through Wikithons around the country, supported by research into the WES and other archives. We plan to have 200 map pins of historic WES members to explore by the end of the project in May 2020. The map is going to evolve over the lifespan of the project, pins will move to new places as the entries in Wikipedia and Wikidata change and evolve.

We've worked with EWP for many years, and it was time to refresh their online presence. We helped them select a responsive theme on the latest version of Drupal, and tweaked it to display EWP's brand identity.

The site enables them to publish updates about their new campaigns and latest news through the Drupal dashboard.

We rebuilt their membership signup and listings functions with an interactive map customised to display regions where EWP members work.

We migrated the Germany Country Group of Peace Brigades International's website from it's old home on Typo3 CMS to a shiny new responsive Drupal 7.

We did a complete rethink of the design and templates and came up with a site that enables PBI to customise their homepage with their latest calls to action and automatically displays updated listings of news and activities

The new site reflects PBI's identity and demonstrates their impact by showcasing stories and images from their archives, and displays an interactive map to show PBI's global projects.

Conciliation Resources

CR provided us with a detailed set of requirements for a fully featured, fully up to date corporate website. They wanted their extensive set of online content in a variety of formats to be accessible across different-sized displays, to improve their already top-ranking SEO, and to seamlessly integrate their social media channels, all in an elegant and carefully branded visual style.

We guided their team through a process of updating the display of their many thousands of publications, documents, articles, films, images and other online materials, using our web-based project tracker tool and several rounds of visual mockups. The site also features an interactive map showing CR's involvement in peacemaking globally, which we customised to display without national borders, in line with CR's specific requirements.

We built the new site for ERT in 2015, in a responsive themed Drupal 7.

Their priority was to improve the accessibility of their Virtual Library on Equality, by making it display elegantly and correctly regardless of the size of screen or type of device used by visitors, and adding a powerful suite of facetted and advanced searches. We worked closely with ERT to design and configure the library and to migrate the contents from their previous CMS and to reinvigorate ERT's online presence using maps and bold imagaery in a custom design based on their brand.

Woodcraft Folk

This ambitious project was set up to integrate the Woodcraft Folk's in-office membership administration system with their public facing website. The idea was to build a very modern system to underpin a site that supports Woodcraft kids, parents and office staff, without losing the special creative spirit and energy of the Folk that has endured since its inception nearly 100 years ago.

The project kicked off with a workshop that brought together a range of Woodcraft people who collaboratively set out the site's priorities and challenges.That culminated in a comprehensive plan for the site and the database backend. Plans evolved into page mockups, wireframes and production sites, which were presented, discussed and tested by the Woodcraft Folk.

The result is a beautiful website (with page designs by Sarah Macbeth for wave design) which skillfully makes space for Woodcraft children to speak and show for themselves. And the cool funky tools like the online membership renewal, the guided search, the filterable calendar and interactive maps have found a wonderfully comfortable co-existence with the camping, peace building and cooperative spirit.

The Woodcraft Folk use CiviCRM to manage their membership, GreenNet has supported  them to customise and develop their CRM system since 2009.

End Water Poverty

End Water Poverty's old site had served them well for a number of years, but began creaking at the seams as their content needs evolved and the site wasn't able to keep pace. The new site's aim was to bring the issues and campaigns of EWP to life - especially for their growing network of water and sanitation NGOs around the world.

We worked on a design that would be more engaging for incidental visitors and committed visitors, that could provide clear campaign information on a single page making it simple for users to see how they can get involved and support the movement.

The home page shows the many sides of EWP's campaigning work - from the news stories that prompt the need for action, to the campaigns that anyone can support, to the members from around the world that are working with EWP on Water and Sanitation for All. The treat for returning visitors is that there's always something new to discover.
