Digital media and communications for community groups

Digital media such as social media, websites and newsletters have become essential to most community groups and charities allowing them to connect with their communities, attract new donations, participants or volunteers and run their projects effectively.

Through the Hub's work with community groups, many have expressed a lack of capacity but a desire to learn more about digital communications to support their work. This hands-on workshop is designed to enhance knowledge and skills and show how you can apply a strategic approach to achieve your goals. The workshop is open to both staff and volunteers working at community groups and organisations or charities.

The topics that we cover are highlighted in the agenda. While the event will mainly focus on digital media, there will be some information on traditional media such as print and broadcast. These topics have been selected based on survey responses from community groups the Hub has worked with.

Please note you will not be asked to share anything about your current content or strategies unless you want to. You will be given the skills and resources that will allow you to reflect on current efforts and how you can best move forward. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions.

We will be using a video editing app for smartphones. Please bring along your smartphone with enough available storage to take a few videos and download an app.

Tea and coffee will be available throughout the day and a vegetarian lunch will be provided. Please indicate any dietary requirements in the registration form.
