• 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 read about Facebook and Twitter or heard about the endless list of new websites, but not known how they apply in development of local organisations and volunteer groups?
• If you’re a development worker in a local support and development organisation, or you work in a volunteering organisation then this workshop is for YOU!

Good use of social media offers ways to strengthen the work of development workers with local groups, the way organisations reach volunteers and how they help communities network and campaign more effectively. By not considering use of this technology are you missing out on a valuable new way to support groups and volunteer led projects?

These workshops are being delivered by the NAVCA ICT Champions and Red Foundation as part of the Capacitybuilders' Modernising Volunteering & Regional ICT Champions workstreams. They will:

• Show how others use social media so you can place them in the context of your own organisation,
• Explore how to develop a social media plan and organisational guidelines for responsible use,
• 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.

Places for this full day workshop are subsidised at just £35 per person; this includes lunch, workshop materials and social media resource guides.
