www.askcharity.org.uk are helping organise a seminar on new uses of

the web. Web 2.0 for good will be held at the RSA in London on 22nd

May 3pm-7pm.

It’s one of the first events in the UK which explores how new Web-

based social tools such as blogs, wikis, podcasting and social

bookmarking can be used to promote social change and innovation.

These new “Web 2.0” tools offer huge potential for campaigning

organisations, charities, social entrepreneurs and CSR practitioners

to extend their reach, prominence and impact. At Web 2.0 for Good

over 100 early adopters, technologists, bloggers and writers will

convene to explore not just what these tools are but the values and

philosophy that underpin their use. It will be interactive,

informative, fun but resolutely framed around conversation not

didactic communication. The organisers will use a mixture of

demonstration, improvisation, games and dynamic facilitation formats

developed by Policy Unplugged.

The event will provide a great opportunity for networking both at the

event and at the drinks reception afterwards.

The cost of the event is £50 exc VAT for voluntary organisations (£90

exc VAT for everyone else). For more information, or to register your

interest please write to po*************@******co.uk. The organisers

will then get in touch with you.

We have two free places to give away to charities with an income of

less than £750,000 pa. We will do a draw for winners. If you have

booked for the event anyway we will rebate you the cost of the

ticket. If you have not, we will book your ticket. If you or someone

else from your charity wishes to enter this prize draw please send

Pe************@******rg.uk an e-mail with “prize draw” as the subject.
