Over the last six months Podnosh have trained several groups of people in social reporting – using video, audio and other social media to objectively report what’s happening in communities, at events or meetings and to quickly publish this information on the web.
If you’ve been part of the training – through Every Voice Counts, the Black Country Take Part Pathfinder program or with Birmingham Neighbourhood Forums – then we’ve sent you an email.
It’s offering you the chance to win one of four Flip cameras bought as part of the Every Voice Counts programme. The aim of the training and these cameras was to create a legacy of community groups, active citizens and even council officers empowered to use the web for civic good.
So if you received one of these emails please write a social blog post whereever you think is fit and link your post to this one. We’ll read the posts and pass on the cameras to four groups or people.
What do we mean by “social”? Need some ideas on what to write about? You might want to look at:
The closing date is Friday 20th May 2011. Remember to include a link to this post.
Good luck and we look forward to reading your posts. Everyone will get mentioned here once the decision has been made (the posts will be judged by Nick Booth, owner of Podnosh and Denise Taylor from RAWM) – and we’ll explain why we chose the posts we did.
So four Flip cameras to help you hold power to account or reflect what going on in your neighbourhood or your community.
