There are four steps to register events in the Stand Up and Take Action website, but first you have to create an account with the site.

Creating an account with the website

We would like you to create an account. This will allow us to keep record of your contacts and participation, giving you access to the website.

To create an account:

1. Click on the “Login to add events” button on the top right hand side
2. Click on the option “Create new account”
3. Enter a user name, email and password
4. Press the “Create new account” button

If you have an account:

1. Click on “Login to add events” button
2. Login with your email and password

Once you can login, you get access to the Event Toolkit page where you can add new events and find all your registered events http://www.standagainstpoverty.org/en/event-toolkit

Creating an event: the Event Toolkit

First Step

The first box is highlighted in green to show that your account has been activated. Go to “Resources” at the right side of your screen and download materials (posters, logos, guides) that you will need for your event. We would suggest you to contact us in case of any query about materials you can use to spread the word.

Second Step : Before your event

We need you to give us few details about your event (s) mainly concerning dates, hours, goals and description. Remember you can register more than one event, if you’re registering events for other partners, colleagues or friends.

To add an event:

1. Click on “Add your event,/a>”
2. A form appears with areas numbered 1 to 3, there is also a side box on the right.
3. Fill the fields in areas 1 and 2. Note that fields marked with a small red star (*) are compulsory and cannot be skipped. Remember to make sure your description includes enough information so that users can attend the event: include exact address, directions, etc.
4. Once points 1 and 2 are completed, look on the right side of your screen and give complete information about your location, city, type of event and participants. Note that fields marked with a small red star (*)are compulsory and cannot be skipped. When you choose a region in the Location dropdown list, a new list will appear with countries in that region and then sub-regions of that country: you need to complete all the lists to ensure your event is correctly located on the Stand Up Map.
5. You can add images for your event using the “Flickr upload” form at the bottom of the right-hand box. Images will be uploaded on the Stand Up website, but also on Flickr, after you’ve saved your event
6. Once you’ve completed all the information, press the “Submit” button at the bottom of the page Note that the third area is for recording the numbers of people who attended after your event, so you don’t need to fill this in at this point.

You will be able to come back to the event later to add the number of people who actually attended.

Third Step : At your event on October 17-19

We are suggesting that all event participants stand for 1 minute during the event and that you estimate their number and capture the event on videos, audio and photos.

If you want to update your event details, or upload photographs you can do so now.

1. Come back to the website Standagainstpoverty.org and login;
2. Go to the Step 3 – click on “Find your event”. A new page will open showing the events you have recorded.
3. Clicking on your event’s title and a new page will open with your event’s information.
4. Click on the “Edit” link just under the event title to modify your event’s details or to load new images to the website and Flickr (the page works just like the page for creating a new event)

Fourth Step : Immediately after the event

The most important step is to record the numbers immediately after your event. The deadline for submitting your numbers is 19:00GMT on October 20th

1. Come back to the website Standagainstpoverty.org and login;
2. Go to the Step 4 – click on “Record your numbers”
3. Find your event and click on it
4. Click on the “Record” link just under the event title to record the number of participants
5. Provide us with the number of people participating. Enter the number or your estimation twice and click on the small tick-box below to certify that the number you have entered is correct
6. Press the “Submit” button below

You can also add more images to your event after you’ve by following the same procedure outlined above.
