Posted on 04:07 by Unknown
En Français

It’s that time of the year again, when we select students from universities across Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) to be part the Google Student Ambassador program. The second year of the program saw tremendous growth as it expanded from 6 to 12 countries, and grew from 28 to 97 universities with 160 Ambassadors within 1 year. The program also held its first training summit in Nairobi.

Google Student Ambassadors (GSAs) are student leaders on campus whose mission is to use technology to make a difference, not only in their universities, but also in their communities more widely. Ambassadors have helped improve their universities’ online presence by mapping over 60 African university campuses including the University of Ghana, and Nigeria’s Obafemi Awolowo University.


GSAs are improving collaboration and communication among students and faculty by conducting trainings on tools such as Google Apps for Education, Google+ for Education and YouTube for School. They have also helped students and faculty to take advantage of Google initiatives for academia like the Google Online Marketing Challenge, Google Summer of Code and Google scholarships.

With the skills picked up during their tenure, a number  of GSAs have even gone on to start their own businesses. An example is Webcoupers, a Nigerian digital marketing company that was started by Oluseyi Oladipo (GSA) and Adepoju Abiodun (GSA Alumni).

                 
 
If you’re inspired by these examples, we invite you to enter for the 2013 program.  Eligible students from all backgrounds should complete the application form before April 11, 2013.  For more information on the Google Student Ambassador Program and other student opportunities in Sub Saharan Africa, visit our University Programs website.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Vous voulez devenir un étudiant ambassadeur de Google ?

Comme chaque année, voici venu le moment où nous sélectionnons, à travers les universités d'Afrique sub-saharienne (ASS), les étudiants qui participeront au Programme Étudiant Ambassadeur de Google. La deuxième édition du programme a connu une très forte croissance, s'étendant de 6 à 12 pays, et de 28 à 97 universités, avec 160 ambassadeurs en un an. Le programme a organisé son premier sommet de formation à Nairobi.


Les étudiants ambassadeurs Google (GSA) sont des leaders étudiants sur les campus, qui ont pour mission d'utiliser la technologie pour faire la différence, non seulement dans leur université, mais aussi dans leur communauté. Les ambassadeurs ont aidé à améliorer la présence en ligne de leur université en cartographiant plus de 60 campus d'universités africaines, parmi lesquelles l'université du Ghana et l'université Obafemi Awolowo au Nigeria.

Les étudiants ambassadeurs améliorent la collaboration et la communication entre les étudiants et les facultés en effectuant des formations sur des outils, tels que les Google Apps pour l'Éducation, Google + pour l'Éducation et YouTube for School. Ils ont également aidé les étudiants et les facultés à profiter des initiatives Google, telles que le Google Online Marketing Challenge, le Google Summer of Code ainsi que les bourses Google

Grâce aux compétences acquises lors de leur titularisation, un certain nombre d'étudiants ambassadeurs ont même monté leur propre entreprise. Webcoupers, une entreprise de marketing numérique nigériane créée par Oluseyi Oladipo (étudiant ambassadeur) et Adepoju Abiodun (ancien étudiant ambassadeur), en est un très bon exemple.
Si ces exemples vous inspirent, nous vous invitons à rejoindre le programme de 2013.  Les étudiants éligibles, de tous horizons, doivent remplir le formulaire d'inscription avant le 11 avril 2013. Pour en savoir plus sur le Programme Étudiant Ambassadeur de Google et sur les autres opportunités en Afrique sub-saharienne, consultez le site des programmes universitaires.

Nous attendons de vos nouvelles avec impatience !
