Workshop: Word Power - Finding your blog's unique voice
Social Change Institute Participants:
We invite you to stay one more night at Hollyhock Centre in order to take advantage of this unique opportunity. Learn to extend grassroots communications, outreach and engagement capacity with one of the Internet's hottest tools: blogging.
In this optional one-day workshop, Social Change Institute participants will get a crash course in blogging for social change so that you can get up and running with your own blog. You'll identify the key audiences that blogging can help you reach and the kinds of messages that blogging can help you deliver, learning from the best practices of leading community bloggers.
The workshop will cover:
- How blogging can support your communications work
- Up & running: we'll get your blog set up and live in one session!
- Finding your voice: what makes a good blog post
- Targeting an audience: delivering key messages with blogs
- Resources for further learning
