في التسارع الإعلامي، وقفزاته المهولة، كنت على اطلاع عن ورش «مجتمع وصل».. والذي يسعى نحو مستقبل اتصالي مشرق.
لنبدأ بهذا التساؤل: هل تساءلت يوماً عن الفجوة بين ما يتعلمه طلاب الإعلام والاتصال في قاعات الدراسة، وما يتطلبه سوق العمل المكتظ في تسارعه؟ وهذه الفجوة ليست مجرد تحدٍ، بل هي فرصة لا تقدر بثمن لصناعة مختصين أكثر قوة وتأثيراً، وفي ظل هذا المشهد المتغير، يأتي دور المبادرات الرائدة مثل «مجتمع وصل»، الذي أطلق مؤخراً سلسلة من ورش العمل المتخصصة لطلاب وخريجي الإعلام والاتصال، ليست فقط لإثراء معارفهم، بل لصقل مهاراتهم وخبراتهم في مجالات إعلامية حيوية، وتأهيلهم لسوق العمل.
أدرك «مجتمع وصل» أهمية هذه الورش في بناء جيل قادر على المنافسة والابتكار، وفي مقر شركة «بيور مايند» بالرياض، وعلى مدار خمسة أيام متواصلة، قدمت نخبة من المختصين في مجال الإعلام والاتصال عصارة خبراتهم في «أسبوع المهارات الإعلامية»، ليتحول كل يوم إلى فرصة جديدة للتعلم والتجربة، والورش لم تكن مجرد محاضرات نظرية، بل كانت فرصة للتفاعل العملي، ومساحة لتطبيق المفاهيم المكتسبة مباشرةً، مما يضمن ترسخ المعلومة والمهارة.
وبدأت الرحلة بورشة «مهارات المتحدث الرسمي والظهور الإعلامي»، التي لم تكتفِ بتعريف الطلاب بأهمية الظهور الإعلامي، بل تجاوزت ذلك إلى تعليمهم كيفية صناعة المحتوى الإقناعي وبناء العلامة الشخصية، وآلية صياغة الرسائل المؤثرة، كل ذلك مع استعراض نماذج عملية تعزز الفهم وتثبت المعلومة.
بعدها، جاءت ورشة «التواصل الإستراتيجي: أساسيات التواصل الإستراتيجي»، التي غطت مبادئ التواصل الإستراتيجي والفرق بينه وبين العلاقات العامة، وهو أمر بالغ الأهمية في عالم اليوم الذي يتسم بالتعقيد، والأهم من ذلك، أنها تضمنت خطوات وضع خطة التواصل الإستراتيجي من التخطيط إلى القياس، مع تحديد أسباب فشل الخطط وتطبيق تمرين عملي لإعداد الخطة الاتصالية، وهذه الجوانب العملية هي ما يفرق بين المعرفة النظرية والتطبيق الفعال.
وفي عالمنا الرقمي الذي يتزايد فيه تأثير المحتوى، جاءت ورشة «صناعة وإدارة المحتوى الإعلامي» لتعرف الطلاب والخريجين بماهية المحتوى الإعلامي وخصائص المحتوى المؤثر، وركزت الورشة على ما يميز المحتوى الرقمي، وعرضت نماذج عملية للأثر المطلوب تحقيقه، مما يزودهم بالأدوات اللازمة لصناعة محتوى جاذب ومؤثر يتناسب مع متطلبات العصر.
ولم يغفل «مجتمع وصل» عن الإنتاج الإعلامي فخصص ورشة كاملة لهذا الموضوع الحيوي بعنوان «الإنتاج الإعلامي من الكتابة إلى النشر»، لتأخذ الطلاب في رحلة شيقة تبدأ من تحديد الهدف من المخرج الفني، مروراً بمراحل الكتابة الدقيقة، وصولاً إلى تعقيدات مراحل الإنتاج الإعلامي، وهذه الورشة قدمت للمشاركين فهماً شاملاً لعملية الإنتاج الإعلامي من بدايتها وحتى نهايتها، محولةً الأفكار المجردة إلى منتجات إعلامية جاهزة للنشر، وهو ما يمثل جوهر العمل الإعلامي الاحترافي.
وتناولت ورشة «التواصل الداخلي: تشكيل الثقافة وتمكين السفراء»، مفهوماً قد يبدو بعيداً عن الإعلام الخارجي، لكنه في الواقع مفتاح لنجاح أي مؤسسة، واستعرضت الورشة مفهوم التواصل الداخلي وأهميته، وكيفية إعادة تعريفه من عبء مالي إلى فرصة استثمارية، كما تناولت أنواع التواصل الداخلي وأدواته وقنواته، بالإضافة إلى سمات التواصل الداخلي الفعال ودوره في صناعة ثقافة مؤسسية قوية وتحويل الموظف إلى سفير للمؤسسة. هذه الورشة أضاءت جانباً مهماً من جوانب الإعلام، وغرست في الطلاب فهماً أعمق لدورهم المستقبلي.
أما الورشة الختامية، فاستعرضت موضوعاً حيوياً، وهو «الهوية الصوتية الاحترافية للشركات والمؤسسات»، للتعرف على مفهوم الهوية الصوتية الاحترافية.
وما تم تقديمه يمثل نموذجاً يحتذى به في تطوير الكفاءات الإعلامية، وهذه الورش المتخصصة، التي جمعت بين الخبرة الأكاديمية والتطبيق العملي، هذه الأيام كانت خطوة عملاقة نحو سد الفجوة بين التعليم الأكاديمي ومتطلبات سوق العمل، وتأهيل جيل من المختصين القادرين على قيادة التغيير.

In the media acceleration and its tremendous leaps, I was informed about the workshops of "Wasl Community," which strives for a bright communication future.
Let's start with this question: Have you ever wondered about the gap between what media and communication students learn in classrooms and what the crowded job market requires in its rapid pace? This gap is not just a challenge; it is an invaluable opportunity to create more powerful and influential specialists. In light of this changing landscape, pioneering initiatives like "Wasl Community" come into play, which recently launched a series of specialized workshops for media and communication students and graduates, not only to enrich their knowledge but also to refine their skills and experiences in vital media fields, preparing them for the job market.
“Wasl Community” recognizes the importance of these workshops in building a generation capable of competition and innovation. At the headquarters of "Pure Mind" in Riyadh, over five consecutive days, a select group of specialists in the field of media and communication shared their expertise during the "Media Skills Week," turning each day into a new opportunity for learning and experimentation. The workshops were not merely theoretical lectures; they were practical interaction opportunities and spaces to apply acquired concepts directly, ensuring that information and skills are firmly established.
The journey began with the workshop "Skills of the Official Spokesperson and Media Appearance," which not only introduced students to the importance of media presence but also went beyond that to teach them how to create persuasive content and build a personal brand, as well as how to craft impactful messages, all while showcasing practical examples that enhance understanding and solidify knowledge.
Next came the workshop "Strategic Communication: Fundamentals of Strategic Communication," which covered the principles of strategic communication and the differences between it and public relations, a matter of utmost importance in today's complex world. More importantly, it included steps for developing a strategic communication plan from planning to measurement, identifying reasons for plan failures, and applying a practical exercise to prepare the communication plan. These practical aspects are what differentiate theoretical knowledge from effective application.
In our increasingly digital world, where the influence of content is growing, the workshop "Creating and Managing Media Content" introduced students and graduates to what media content is and the characteristics of impactful content. The workshop focused on what distinguishes digital content and presented practical examples of the desired impact, equipping them with the necessary tools to create engaging and influential content that meets the demands of the era.
“Wasl Community” did not overlook media production and dedicated an entire workshop to this vital topic titled "Media Production from Writing to Publishing," taking students on an exciting journey that starts from defining the goal of the artistic output, through precise writing stages, to the complexities of media production stages. This workshop provided participants with a comprehensive understanding of the media production process from start to finish, transforming abstract ideas into ready-to-publish media products, which represents the essence of professional media work.
The workshop "Internal Communication: Shaping Culture and Empowering Ambassadors" addressed a concept that may seem distant from external media, but is, in fact, a key to the success of any organization. The workshop reviewed the concept of internal communication and its importance, how to redefine it from a financial burden to an investment opportunity, as well as the types, tools, and channels of internal communication, in addition to the characteristics of effective internal communication and its role in creating a strong organizational culture and turning employees into ambassadors for the organization. This workshop illuminated an important aspect of media and instilled in students a deeper understanding of their future roles.
The concluding workshop presented a vital topic, which is "The Professional Voice Identity of Companies and Institutions," to understand the concept of professional voice identity.
What was presented represents a model to be emulated in developing media competencies. These specialized workshops, which combined academic expertise with practical application, were a giant step towards bridging the gap between academic education and the requirements of the job market, preparing a generation of specialists capable of leading change.
