Want to become a Google Student Ambassador in Sub-Saharan Africa?

Posted on 02:56 by Unknown
En Français


It’s that time of the year again, when we select Google Student Ambassadors (GSAs) in universities in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA).  Last year, we launched the Google Student Ambassador Program in SSA and selected Ambassadors from 28 universities in 6 countries - Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa and Rwanda.  This year is particularly exciting because, in addition to the countries where we selected ambassadors last year, we are inviting university students studying in Angola, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Senegal, and Tanzania to apply to the program.

The Ambassador class of 2012 has helped to bring their university communities online, by using Google Map Maker and uploading over 12 SSA universities to Google Maps.

Ambassadors are student leaders on campus who make it their mission to use technology to make a difference, not only in their universities, but also in their communities. They teach students how to use Google tools, such as Google Apps for Education, Google Search for Educators and in selected markets, YouTube for School to improve their daily learning experience. Over the last year, we have seen a great improvement in how university students in Africa use technology in their academics.

Are you keen? For more information on the Google Ambassador Program and other student opportunities in SSA, visit our University Programs website.  We are now accepting applications to the program; eligible students can submit it here before 1st March 2012.  We look forward to hearing from you!

Vous voulez devenir un étudiant ambassadeur de Google en Afrique sub-saharienne (ASS) ?

Comme chaque année, voici venu le moment où nous sélectionnons les étudiants ambassadeurs de Google (GSA) dans les universités d'Afrique sub-saharienne. L'an dernier, nous avons lancé le Programme Étudiant ambassadeur de Google en ASS et sélectionné des ambassadeurs de 28 universités réparties dans six pays : Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Ouganda, Afrique du Sud et Rwanda.  Cette année est particulièrement enthousiasmante car, en plus des pays où nous avions déjà des ambassadeurs l'an dernier, nous invitons les étudiant des universités d'Angola, du Cameroun, de la Côte d’Ivoire, d'Éthiopie, du Sénégal et de la Tanzanie à postuler au programme.

Les ambassadeurs du millésime 2012 ont aidé à mettre en ligne leur communauté universitaire : avec Google Map Maker, ils ont pu intégrer plus de 12 universités d'ASS sur Google Maps.

Les ambassadeurs sont des étudiants leaders sur le campus, qui se donnent pour mission de valoriser leur université ainsi que leurs communautés grâce à la technologie. Ils apprennent aux autres étudiants à utiliser les outils Google, tels que Google Apps for Education, Google Search for Educators et, dans certaines régions, YouTube for School pour améliorer leur apprentissage au quotidien. Au cours de l'année dernière, nous avons constaté que les étudiants en Afrique ont beaucoup progressé dans leur façon d'utiliser la technologie dans le cadre de leurs études.

Vous êtes partant ? Pour en savoir plus sur le programme Ambassadeur de Google et sur les autres opportunités proposées aux étudiants d'ASS, consultez notre site des Formations et programmes. Nous enregistrons en ce moment les candidatures pour le programme ; les étudiants éligibles peuvent postuler ici avant le 1er mars 2012.  Nous attendons de vos nouvelles avec impatience !
