Seminars in podcasting and blogging appear for charities
Howard Lake | 10 May 2006 | News
The benefits to charities in using tools such as podcasting and blogging are now starting to crop up in training courses and seminars in the UK. Although these tools have been around for some years, Spring 2006 sees the first time that they’ve been highlighted on any scale to the UK voluntary sector.
‘Introduction to Webcasting’
Free Information Session
We would like to invite you to this free information session on webcasting, to be held at The Showroom Cinema, Sheffield on the 9th June 2006

Webcasting what is it?
Could it help your community to communicate and develop its creativity?
Now you can watch a TV programme on the Internet or listen to a radio programme you’ve downloaded whenever you like …
And you can also use this same technology to make your own media accessible to the wider world. Community based groups have experimented with lots of creative ideas such as:
putting oral history recordings on a website so that a community can access its history
making animations produced by children available for watching at home
putting video clips on a website that celebrate the strengths and diversity of a community
showing children’s football matches on line
reaching audiences across the world for specialist music
allowing the whole world to access a local community radio station¦
If you want to learn more about these ideas and how to put them into action, this workshop might be for you.
The morning will include:
An opportunity to hear from groups that are already webcasting
Guidance on how to start webcasting
A trip into the future looking at what technology might make possible
There will be a jargon busting sheet for the technically challenged and the chance to ask lots of questions.
Come and explore the world of podcasting, vodcasting and blogging!
The session will be held from 10:00am till 1.00pm on the 9th June 2006 at The Showroom Cinema (Cinema 5), Sheffield (directions included). Refreshments will be provided.
If you wish to attend please contact CM Solutions on 0114 2201426 or email zo*@cm**.uk with your name, organisation and contact telephone number by the 26th May 2006.

Jude Habib’s 9th May even:
I haven’t got a news release as such but
I’m emailing you details of the event. It will also be available as a
podcast which I’ll email to you after the event. I think the key thing with
fundraising and Podcasting is that it is an unknown quantity and we’re not
trying to raise expectations, however with creative sound and perhaps ways
of targeting messages to younger people organizations can find new ways of
raising funds. My background is actually is social media running broadcast
campaigns for the BBC. I left in January to work with charities and
not-for-profits.

Thank you for registering for Web 2.0 for Good, an
open space conference
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/open_space_conference)
hosted by Policy Unplugged
(http://www.policyunplugged.org).
DATE AND TIME:
————————————————————————-
May 22, 2006
2:30pm – 7:30pm
Web 2.0 for Good will explore how Web-based tools such
as blogs, wikis, podcasting and social bookmarking can
be used to promote social change and innovation. These
new tools offer unprecedented potential for
campaigning organisations, charities, public sector
bodies, social entrepreneurs and CSR practitioners to
extend their reach, prominence and impact.
At Web 2.0 for Good, 100 early adopters,
technologists, bloggers and
writers will come together to take practical steps to
make the Web a tool for social change. The event will
explore not only what these tools are, but the values
and philosophy that underpin their use.
Web 2.0 for Good will be interactive, informative and
fun, but resolutely framed around conversation rather
than didactic communication. A mixture of dynamic
facilitation formats developed by Policy Unplugged
will be used throughout the event. It will be a great
opportunity for networking – both at the event and at
the drinks reception afterwards.
