Queen Rania to France 24: " When you unleash the potential of girls then you really create a tidal wave of benefits that cascade throughout society"

Shania Twain (ST): Hello I’m Shania Twain. You’re listening to a special Friday edition of The Current. Around the world there are seventy two million children who don’t have access to education, And now FIFA, the international governing body of soccer has teamed up with the Global Campaign for Education to try to change that. The result is the 1Goal campaign and the idea is to make sure that every single child in the world is able to go to school. It’s a lofty goal but the campaign has a powerful backer.

Queen Rania of Jordan is using social media to promote her charitable work, meet her subjects and chat to her children. All she wants to do now is get her fridge on Twitter.

Thank you, Jimmy. Music royalty…acting royalty…advertising royalty…Man, it’s hard for plain old royalty-royalty to stand out in this crowd!  But of course, that’s not what it’s about, and it’s great to be here to share this moment of musical and social media history. You don’t need to understand what VEVO means, to know that it’s set to transform the way we access music videos. I’m here tonight because I believe VEVO can help transform something else. I’m here tonight because I believe VEVO can help transform the state of global education.

(Office of Her Majesty, Press Department- Amman) – Her Majesty Queen Rania came in third, following Barak Obama and 10 Downing Street in the list of most influential world leaders on the social network Twitter. The list was compiled as part of a report by the Digital Policy Council, according to which, 1 out of 5 heads of state are currently on Twitter and engaging in social networking on the internet.

In the five years since its launch, Twitter has become a social networking phenomenon. More than 140 million tweets are published a day, drawing in celebrities, politicians and royalty.

Today, Twitter’s 140-character updates are used for everything from sharing the latest celebrity gossip, to sparking social revolutions.

After I tweeted, not long before I was to go on stage, I heard my name being called. I walked out and there in front of me were about 2,500 people and just as many laptops. Even though the venue previously functioned as a city morgue, the room was bustling, the atmosphere electrifying.
