Please describe your proposed solution

Approach :

The solution involves creating an active YouTube channel and Twitter page (while promoting the latter), dedicated to news related to Cardano. The goal is to educate, inform, and encourage the adoption of Cardano within the region. I will leverage my expertise in video editing, Translating, and experience as an official Cardano Ambassador to produce high-quality content.

So far, I succeeded to create an Arabic Language section on Cardano Forum, with willpower and hardwork. This is just the Beginning !

Impact will be measured through various metrics, including increased followers and viewership. I will track the growth of the YouTube channel and Twitter/ X page, monitor engagement levels such as views, likes, shares, and gather feedback from the community.

By providing news, content, and Translation in Arabic, the individuals in the region can access information about Cardano in their preferred language. The Project raises awareness, fosters adoption, and expands Cardano's global reach and user base.

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

In what way will the Project bring value to the Cardano Community:

Cardano has been actively engaging with various regions, including the Middle East and North Africa, to promote its technology and explore potential partnerships and collaborations. It has conducted events, workshops, and educational initiatives to increase awareness and adoption, including Cardano Summits 2023 and 2024 held in Dubai.

To evaluate the potential impact of this project, we can consider its ability to bring people to the community, strengthen the ecosystem, and solve key problems or issues. Here are a few points to consider:

1. Community Engagement: By providing translated texts in Arabic, the project can attract and engage Arabic-speaking individuals from the ME and NA regions. This can help grow the Cardano community in these areas and foster a sense of inclusivity.
2. Language Accessibility: By offering translated content in Arabic ( over at Cardano Forum), the project ensures that language barriers are reduced, allowing a wider audience to access and benefit from the information.
3. Metrics: Tracking metrics such as the number of subscribers, total views, and watch time (on Youtube channel) can provide insights into the reach and engagement of the content. These metrics can be used to assess the project's success and make data-driven decisions for future content strategies.

How will this Impact be measured:

This project has the potential to contribute to the adoption and growth of Cardano in the ME and NA regions by providing translated educational content and engaging the community. However, the actual impact and success of the project would depend on factors such as the quality of the content, the effectiveness of promotion and distribution, and the level of engagement from the target audience.

How will the outputs and opportunities resulting from the project be shared:

1. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): The project aims to track the total number of people watching the Cardanati YouTube channel. By monitoring this metric, the project can assess its viewership and engagement over time. Comparing the total views in January 2023 with other months can provide insights into the project's growth and impact.
2. Duration and Frequency of Videos: The project plans to publish videos with a duration of 5-15 minutes, ensuring that they are short and concise. This approach aims to cater to the audience's preferences for easily digestible content. Publishing around 4 hours of content in Arabic per month indicates a consistent effort to provide regular updates and educational material.

Content Availability and Auditability: The project ensures that all published video materials can be checked through the Cardanati YouTube channel. Additionally, each video will have its respective transcription and translation published on the Cardano Forum website.

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

1. Official Cardano Ambassador: The fact that I am an official Cardano Ambassador signifies my involvement and commitment to the Cardano ecosystem. This designation suggests a level of knowledge and dedication to promoting Cardano's goals and principles, also in terms of managing funds properly I used the the Cardano Ambassador Program's remuneration numbers.
2. State-of-the-Art Equipment: Having state-of-the-art equipment. Having access to advanced video editing tools and high-quality recording equipment can contribute to producing professional and engaging content for the project.
3. Video Editing and Voice Acting Experience: Experience in video editing and voice acting ( Arabic and English ) indicates their proficiency in creating and refining video content. These skills are essential for producing engaging and visually appealing videos that effectively convey the project's message to the target audience.
4. Long-Term Involvement in the Cardano Ecosystem: Being involved in the Cardano ecosystem for over 4 years. This demonstrates a deep understanding of Cardano's principles, developments, and community dynamics. My extensive experience within the ecosystem can provide valuable insights and a strong foundation for executing the project effectively.

As per the validation of the goals :

1. Quantitative validation:

• Monitor progress of views on the YouTube channel and track the growth in followers on Twitter/ X. These metrics can provide insights into the reach and engagement of the content.

1. Qualitative validation:

• Evaluate user feedback and engagement to assess improvements in user experience. This could involve analyzing comments, conducting surveys, polls, or soliciting direct feedback from users.

Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources

Dubbed Videos:

• Average of 7 videos published per month.
• Videos sourced from IOHK, Emurgo, Cardano Foundation, and relevant YouTube channels.
• Budget based on the Ambassador Program from the Cardano Foundation, specifically the Content Creation category.
• Cost per video: $50 worth of ADA (includes transcriptions, dubbing, editing, and publishing) at Tier 3. Plus 50$ for editing.
• Total cost for 7 videos per month: 7 videos * $100 worth of ADA = $700 worth of ADA.

Translation Texts:

7 texts (2000 words) per month

0.3$ per word = 60$ per text

60 * 7 = 420 per month

420 * 3 months = 1260 $ total

No dependencies.

How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

On average, the rates for voice actors in Greece can range from 50 euros to 150 euros per hour of recording time.

On average, the rates for video editors in Greece can range from 10 euros to 50 euros per hour of editing work.

I'd like to also mention that on hourly basis for Voice acting, in a country like Dubai the wage is between AED 500 which is approximately $136 USD and AED 2,500 which is approximately $680 USD.

And for video editing this ranges in Dubai between AED 100 which is approximately $27 USD to AED 500 which is approximately $136 USD, also on hourly basis.
