Barcamp Nonprofits 2012 project

 

As a part of our barcamp we will be developing a pilot project for a charity of our choice (voting during the event) to showcase the benefits of social media for nonprofit organisations. We will use this wiki to log our notes and allow our virtual attendees to contribute too. We are waiting for your suggestions and ideas!

Our last project:

Initial ideas: Support a small charity with a social media competence to develop their own strategy.   Notes from the event: We have decided to support Against Breast Cancer. Sylwia Presley, Bernard Galewski and Graeme Hunter committed to run this project.    Project plan: 3 sessions of social media training to tackle current issues with internal comms, marketing and potential for social media engagement. Series of brainstorming sessions to work out the ways for social media support of fundraising (Oxford Battle of the Bands - fundraising event).   Final update: We will present the result of our work during the next event.
