The Adoption Cloud - Objective & Goals

You may have heard me talking about the Adoption Cloud... It is a visionary project let me tell you more about it.

Project Objective:

The Adoption Cloud - Project is a portion of this blog, AdoptCloud, where I am going to feature Italian social personalities; adoptees who are working - disseminating communicating - on adoption throughout social media. This project also features well-known Adoptees' International Networks, intending to encourage, and possibly foster interactions with/within the various Italian adoptees' communities and personalities. 

Project Goals:

1) To look at adoption on social media and virtual communities formation in Italy. 
2) To overcome the language barrier.
3) To form and display a comprehensive Italian main-stream featuring all the active networks and personalities - cultural disseminators, activists, and service providers.
4) To connect and foster collaborations with other International Adoptees' Networks. 

I believe Italian adoptees have something to say, something that could add to the existing adoptees' discourse and I want to encourage them to do networking and let other adoptees worldwide know who we are and what we are doing...



The Project Landing Page and posts to present the Italian Adoptees' Project & Communities will follow.

In  my interpretation, here is the breakdown by level: the first level belongs to " Social Networks"  / Facebook, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Quora and  (rarely) Twitter the second level consists of " News Aggregators"  / National Newspap...

Adoptees: 3 Ways to Fight Isolation During Covid Lockdown!

Image
An adoptee knows what loneliness means. Besides, it's challenging to be left home alone with a humongous amount of time to think about life. If you are practising it (and you should!); COVID-19 self-isolation gives you that kind of mindset since we are all obliged to stay home with no other human contact or stuck with your roomy/partner/family.  I am an adoptee in isolation (in a 20mq place with a very chatting boyfriend and a lovely sometimes extremely annoying cat) and a participant to the Northwestern University | Social Media Marketing Specialization on Coursera. I decided to share three simple actions to put in use for this unforeseen - a more then a month in - situation based on two exciting pieces I’ve read on the subject. You might all want to listen to CNN podcast by Chief Medical Correspondent Dr Sanjay Gupta in conversation with Scott Kelly - US former astronaut who spent 340 days living in a Space Station - advising on how to live confined in limited ...
