Social Media Surgeries
If you belong to a Birmingham based community or neighbourhood group of charity please come and join us for the next Social Media Surgery on Wednesday 20 January 2010 from 5.30pm to 7.00pm at thestudio
For an idea of what normally happens at a surgery please read this rather long post on the Podnosh blog.
When & Where
The surgeries now take place at thestudio, 7 Cannon Street, Birmingham (not Fazeley Studios), link to map . It’s just off New Street (turn right after H&M at the bottom of the Pallasades ramp).
The next two surgeries will be on Thursday 11 February and Tuesday 9 March.
You can sign-up here or just drop in at anytime on the night between 5.30pm and 7pm.
What happens at these surgeries?
Lots to learn, little to lose. We promise you friendly advice.
Volunteers from the Birmingham bloggers group are offering to show voluntary and community groups in the city how you can make best use of social media. Non of them are getting paid to provide the help.
It doesn’t matter if you are the head of communications at a major charity or an active citizen in your neighbourhood, if you’re at all curious come along.
No boring speeches, no jargon.
Tools like blogs, podcasts, video and social networks can give a real boost to campaigning organisations, often for no or little cost. So these experts are offering you approachable one-to-one help and support because they believe it can help. 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.
Who are they for?
Charities based in Birmingham plus community and neighbourhood groups in the city.
