- Would you like new ways to communicate with groups and
communities you support?
- Do you want to find and try out different ways to reach your
volunteers?
- Have you heard of social media or read about Facebook and
Twitter, but not known how to apply them in development of local
organisations and volunteer groups?
If you're a development worker in a local support and
development organisation helping small groups, or you provide
support and advice in a volunteer centre then this workshop is for
you!
There's a lot of talk about 'social media', some hype about how
useful it is and a seemingly endless and growing list of social
networking websites to try out.
Good use of social media can offer ways to strengthen how
development workers work with local groups, how organisations reach
volunteers, or help communities campaign more effectively. Not
considering use of this technology could mean organisations and
volunteer centres miss out on its use to support development and
help volunteer led projects & groups.
This workshop is part of a series being run for development workers
in local support organisations and for staff in local volunteer
centres that will:
- Help you place social media in the context of your organisation
development work role,
- Consider guidelines for responsible use of social media
websites,
- Give you knowledge about a wide range of current social media
tools available,
- Feature a practical social media surgery to help build
confidence in use of social media websites and show how you can
help local groups benefit from them too.
The workshops are being delivered by the NAVCA ICT Champions and
Red Foundation as part of the Capacitybuilders' Modernising
Volunteering & Regional ICT Champions work.
