It is always a pleasure working with the East Midlands School of Social Entrepreneurs. Since attending the school as a student a few years back we have continued our relationship, delivering media with a social conscience in the form of e-promotions, blogs, sites and even old-fashioned print.
Our latest collaboration is the delivery of a two and a half hour workshop about social media, web 2.0 and social networking to a select group of social entrepreneurs. The challenge for me is that the host venue has managed to block a whole host of social networking sites in a bid to protect learners from the big bad world.
There is plenty to talk about when it comes to the use of social media by social groups, with or without access to demonstration sites. We shall be covering communication strategies, cost verses effort, evaluation of performance. A tall order for the timescale but if I can leave the participants with a solid grounding and pointers to some ready next steps then the workshop will not have been in vain.
