Rev. Fr. Chrisantus Ndaga
AMECEA is planning to have a live video streaming of the opening ceremony of the AMECEA 19th Plenary Assembly scheduled to take place in Addis Ababa Ethiopia from 13th to 23rd July, 2018.
According to Rev. Fr. Chrisantus Ndaga, AMECEA Social Communications Coordinator, the live streaming will be through an access link/channel, which in the due course will be given to all AMECEA Online News subscribers.
The initiative is meant to give access to people who are not able to attend the ceremony, an opportunity to watch the event live from wherever they will be; the opening ceremony of the AMECEA 19th Plenary Assembly is scheduled for 15th July.
Fr. Ndaga further explained that the live streaming of this historical event for AMECEA is vital in order to give a wider audience across the globe a gist of what will be happening during the opening ceremony.
Live streaming is a term used to describe the process of broadcasting live video footage or video feed to an audience accessing the video stream over the internet. The viewing device can be a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone or digital screen at home, at the office. The broadcast can be just video, audio or both.
Fr. Ndaga said that in general People love to watch events ‘live’ especially those of interest to them and he is sure that AMECEA 19th plenary Assembly is of interest to many people. It is against this backdrop that the plenary preparatory committee has resolved to use this platform to reach out to as many people as possible.
He said the two preparatory committee teams (Ethiopia Catholic Bishops Conference and AMECEA Secretariat) are finalizing the preparations to ensure that the live streaming activity will be successfully.
“Live streaming in recent years, or live streamed events have become the ‘norm’ in the digital technology-world and globally-connected society. AMECEA is therefore going to use the live stream technology for live broadcast of its events for the first time in its history,” he said.
Fr. Ndaga, added that apart from Live streaming, other TV Channels and Media will also broadcast live the event.
