Social Tech Training: Get a Web 2.0 clue

Get a Web 2.0 clue

These days, it’s becoming ever more important for social change organizations to “have it together” online. The opportunities for outreach and engagement offered by online web tools and services are huge, and success stories abound. Many organizations find themselves with more questions than answers, however. Where is the greatest return for your investment? How can you make the most of the increasingly limited attention spans of your constituents? Do you need to be “techy” to do it right? Twitter, Drupal, Facebook, Ning… ack!

Luckily, Web of Change and MaRS have created the Social Tech Training to help you keep it simple and do it right. Social Tech Training is a unique, hands-on Web 2.0-oriented learning intensive for people working in the social change sector.

We’ve gathered a powerhouse team of senior leaders in this sector and we’ve put together an agenda that will walk you through everything you need to know, starting from the ground up. With key themes of Outreach, Engagement, Organization and Leadership, you’ll learn everything you need to optimize web tools and opportunities with confidence, and to align your organization’s culture to support them.

Participants will gain new technical, creative, and leadership skills, tap into a powerful network, and leave with a customized, comprehensive Web 2.0 plan for their organization.
