Would you like to communicate with the groups and communities you support in different ways?
Do you want to better engage your volunteers?
Have you heard of social media tools like Facebook or Twitter, but want to find out how they relate to the development of your organisation?
If you have asked yourself these questions, then this workshop may be of use to you! Using social media effectively can strengthen how you can work with local groups, as well as how you reach volunteers and campaign. Furthermore, a good overall social media strategy will help to ensure that organisations and volunteer centres do not miss out on valuable support.
In addition, they can:
- 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.
These workshops are directed at development workers in local support and development organisations, or those in support/advisory roles in volunteer organisations, and are being delivered by the NAVCA ICT Champions and Red Foundation as part of the Capacitybuilders’ Modernising Volunteering & Regional ICT Champions work.
