CN4B | Community Network 4 Birmingham

• 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 provide support and advice in a volunteer centre then this workshop is for YOU!

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.

These workshops being delivered by the NAVCA ICT Champions and Red Foundation as part of the Capacitybuilders’ Modernising Volunteering & Regional ICT Champions work 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.

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