After the first Slugger Consults open workshops…

Paul Evans and I ran the first Slugger Consults session at Mullan Training in Amelia Street yesterday. It was a pretty tight wall to wall session with short breaks and a grab-a-sandwich lunch. We had a range of good people there from public voluntary and private sector companies. As the first in a series of four we focused on the fundamental shift from channel to networks. Paul took people through the detail of the new platorms being used to rapidly network people, blogs, micro-blogging platforms like Tumblr and Posterous, which was followed up by a look at the kinds of threats and opportunities for anyone considering launching into this brave new world. There are still some places left in next Monday’s session on finding ways of bringing more people into your policy making processes… Or how to engage with key audience, without resorting to ‘tin ear’ stratagems like the No Ten e-petition site.

The last two of this first series, which take place later in the month, are on how you promote conversational communitieson Tuesday 23rd March, and Politics online – campaigning and representation on Tuesday 30th March.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
