socialprotection.org is an online member-based knowledge sharing and capacity building platform, open to social protection practitioners, policy-makers, experts, academics and students. The platform was set up to foster global knowledge sharing on social protection policies in the aftermath of the late 2000s triple crisis. The platform provides free access to a variety of features, including searchable databases of social protection publications – which include text, audio, slides, infographics, videos, photos, and online tools – as well as blogs, news, events, and programme profiles. Members of socialprotection.org are able to connect and join online communities dedicated to prominent social protection topics. Users can also engage with innovative learning tools, such as online courses, webinars, and livestream events. Since its launch, socialprotection.org has hosted over 170 webinars in a variety of topics that must be properly subtitled in order to be more accessible. The main objective of this project, therefore, is to subtitle these webinars so more people can benefit from their content.
