NGOs and Getting the Word Out: The hows and whys of using the modern web
Facilitated by the European Commission Office Dublin*, this free half day event on the afternoon of December 8th is designed to help NGOs to decide how best to utilise web resources to communicate and campaign. Websites, blogging, Facebook and Twitter will be covered with relevant case studies. There will also be a panel discussion with NGOs who are already using social media and they’ll relay what they have learned so far. This event is free for NGOs and campaigning groups, places are limited and a maximum of two places per organisation can be availed.
Full details closer to the date. If you are an NGO/Campaign Group and want to attend there is a maximum of two people per organisation permitted. Form to sign up.
Update: Places are not guaranteed/those running campaigns to empower communities will get preference
*EC Office is sponsoring the space for this event. All organisational queries, send them to me.

Thanks for that, Damien! I work with Trocaire’s campaigns team, and heard about this event through your blog rather than through the official channels… just goes to show the true power of online/social media, doesn’t it??

Great event. Is there a list of the attendees/ speakers with contact info anywhere?
[…] The Social Media for NGOs event earlier this month went down quite well. It was disappointing the number of people who pulled out at the last minute but as was pointed out, had there been a charge, this would not have happened. Big thanks to Nick McGivney, Darragh Doyle, Damian O’Broin, Susan Quirke from Spunout, Irene Lawlor from Barnardos and Red Mum for giving up their time to come to this and share their knowledge. Thanks too to Suzy for cracking the whip in the background. […]
any more of this type of event coming up?
