Podcasting and the power of audio storytelling: a training course by SSR
Florence Flomo is one of the radio enthusiasts that work at Radio Paraclete. She started volunteering at the radio station as she was interested in the broadcasting world, but she wasn’t sure it was for her. The support and encouragement of Radio Paraclete’s local team gave her a chance to get behind the microphones and now Florence’s found her passion.

Using M.E.A.L. Data
By getting to this point, some of the important steps in the data analysis process are complete, but the data you’ve just analyzed can be difficult to understand because it is extensive, complex, and is scattered across a collection of spreadsheets and documents. For this, there is a need to do some work on data visualization and interpretation.
Analyzing M.E.A.L. Data
Data analysis brings order and structure to the data you’ve collected, turning individual pieces of data into actionable information. Through data visualization you interpret and communicate your results. Then, with the process of interpreting the data, you attach meaning to them.
Collecting M.E.A.L. Data
After learning how to design and plan a M.E.A.L. system, we can dive into the third phase of the M.E.A.L. cycle: data collection. Timely, high-quality data is in fact the foundation upon which your project team can measure progress, make decisions, and learn.

Communication has greatly evolved over time. The way that we talked, moved, and interacted with each other was different a hundred years ago, but also very different just a few years back. Even if as communicators, we embrace and understand the art of communicating, we have had to be resilient and adapt to what the public needs from us in current times.
Planning M.E.A.L. Activities: accountability and learning
Feedback-and-response mechanism flowcharts (FRMs), Communication Plan and Learning Plan are the three planning tools that will help you to be accountable and learn.
Planning M.E.A.L. Activities
Let’s introduce the second phase of the M.E.A.L. system: planning. Logic models provide a map of M.E.A.L activities and planning tools allow you to successfully use that map. M.E.A.L. planning tools are used to develop comprehensive plans to answer the question: “how will we collect, analyze, interpret, use, and communicate M.E.A.L. information throughout the life of the project?”.
