Social media surgery for community groups and voluntary organisations
Please see the below invite from Birmingham Bloggers Group & Third Sector Assembly. Further details are one the web-pages at http://birminghamvolorgssocialmediasurgery2.eventbrite.com/
We though this would be a one off - but oh no. The volunteer social media types had such a great time last month they want to run another social media surgery for community groups and voluntary organisations in the city. If you came last time to find out about blogs, podcasts social networks and the like, feel free to come back again. After all we know it takes time to understand how the social web can help your cause.
If you missed the last one you're welcome this time if you represent a community group or charity in the city. And nothing has changed. What's on offer is honest face to face personal advice. Get your free ticket through this page plus please tell us a little more about yourself by clicking here.
Still no boring speeches, very little jargon
Tools like blogs, podcasts, video and social networks can give a real boost to campaigning organisations, often for no or little cost. You may just want to see what is possible and go away and think about it. You might be itching to set up a blog and start using it. Perhaps you think video might help you tell your story but don't know where to start? All is possible. There'll be no lectures, just people with knowledge, ideas and a passion to help you make best use of the internet for your organisation.
When & Where
Wednesday November 26th, any time between 17.30 and 19.00 at BVSC - 138 Digbeth, Birmingham, B5 6DR.
The bloggers and social media consultants are doing this as their voluntary effort for Blog Action Day 2008 - a global movement to use the power of social media to help highlight the problems of poverty. Rather than just write about poverty, they want to do something practical.
