Blog Action Day for voluntary & community groups in Birmingham
The Birmingham third sector assembly and BVSC has teamed up with volunteers from the Birmingham bloggers group on this year’s “Blog Action Day for Poverty” to show voluntary and community groups how to make best use of social media. 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 and 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 will be 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 like these listed here with knowledge, ideas and a passion to help you make best use of the internet for your organisation.

I will be there with the bloggers and social media consultants who are doing this as their part in 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.
