The last and final week of #OUb329. Pulling together my EMA and reflecting on this great module. Really enjoyed the independent research in the TMA’s and LC. Good luck to everyone! @Allanmooney #wk20

I didn’t expect to enjoy the LC as much as I did. Not only was it educational, but also a great experience working with a group of insightful & interesting women. Well done to everyone, I have a newfound understanding of the issues you raised in your CTA’s! #wk19 #OUB329

#B329LeadershipChallenge What an amazing group of students demonstrating Leadership in a changing world. Tackling wicked problems in creative and captivating calls to action. Proud tutor moment 😁😁

Eleven super dams, just like this one.... are causing poverty and marine extinction along the lower Mekong basin. See our call to action here: prezi.com/view/3zoHDGT2f… #MekongRiver #WhoGivesADam #B329LeadershipChallenge @JessHarveyOU22 @emilyb329 @ReapGather @Allanmooney

Drought, devastation & diplomacy. The Mekong River crisis poses a threat to marine life, 60 million livelihoods & is unsettling eastern relations. Learn more about it here: prezi.com/view/mbVwERb0j… #B329LeadershipChallenge #whogivesadam? @Allanmooney #wk18

The marine life and local communities along the lower basin of the #MekongRiver are suffering. Please check out our call to action here: prezi.com/view/3zoHDGT2f… and help us get #WhoGivesADam trending @B329Leadership @Allanmooney #B329LeadershipChallenge

Damming of the #Mekong is detrimental to many countries in Southeast Asia. Indigenous communities are suffering. Many marine animals are becoming extinct, including the critically endangered Irrawaddy Dolphin. Act now… #SaveTheMekongRiver #B329LeadershipChallenge #WhoGivesaDam

#OUB329 Productive zoom call with @emilyb329 and @SamBo21_ tonight to finalise our #B329LeadershipChallenge! Great to collaborate with 4 other hardworking likeminded women on this project 🙏

#OUB329 Do you know about China’s super dams ravaging the communities on the Mekong River? If not our #B329LeadershipChallenge will open your eyes... #whogivesadam? @Allanmooney @B329Leadership

A picture really is worth a thousand words. How devastating it must be to have your livelihood at risk & with no way to stop it? The time to save the Mekong River is now, before 60 000 people are forced to enter survival mode.#whogivesadam #B329LeadershipChallenge @Allanmooney

The #MekongRiver serves millions of people but the water is dropping to worrying levels 😓 #drought #dams #B329LeadershipChallenge @Allanmooney

Really enjoyed working with my Red group on the Leadership Challenge. Finalising our submission and looking forward to sharing our call to action this week! #OUb329 #wk17 @Allanmooney

Leadership through storytelling, a concept I enjoyed reading about in week 17. We use this technique in marketing so it’s interesting to see how leaders use it to build empathy & mobilise people. #OUB329 @Allanmooney

Whilst activism is portrayed negatively in the media, this week reminded of how it is a huge driver of change. Can’t help but think of my nations great leader, Nelson Mandela! #wk16 #OUB329 @Allanmooney

Reflecting on overt resistance from #week15 and thinking of how prevalent it is during the current university strikes in the UK. @Allanmooney #OUB329 Image: The Guardian

In #week15 I got affiliated with my team for the #B329LeadershipChallenge. I am typically a solo-worker but deciding to collaborate was a great decision. Really enjoying the different insights & perspectives each one of us brings to the table! #redgroup #OUB329 @Allanmooney

Looking back on #week14 and I’m reminded of how leaders address issues according to priority. Thinking how this model would apply to our worlds leaders as so many vital issues are still unaddressed. Food for thought as we choose our CTA for LC! #OUB329 @Allanmooney

Reflecting on #week13 TMA02 and wishing I referred back to my tutors comments from the first assignment when drafting. Not making that mistake with my EMA! Looking forward to wrapping up the module on a high note with the #B329LeadershipChallenge @Allanmooney #OUB329

I’ve found writing a blog post to be both challenging and a nice change from essay-style. Can’t believe we are already through Block One! Excited to submit the first TMA of this module. #week6 #B329 @Allanmooney
