Tomorrow we’re presenting a session at Hello Business, a 2 day conference in Birmingham that’s all about how digital media can help to grow businesses.
Four of us (Antonio Gould, Retooled producer, Nick Lockey, New Media Development Producer at Maverick, and Retooled participants Nigel Smith and Martin Craig) are going to run a session on How Social Media can support the unemployed. Here’s the plan:
In a country facing the highest jobless levels in over 15 years, what role can social media and digital technology play in supporting the unemployed?
Through a series of film interviews and blogs this session will explore how a team of ex MG Rover employees set up a website about their experiences of redundancy to help others going through similar experiences.
We’re on at 12.15pm on Friday 22nd October – and we’ll write up the discussion on this blog afterwards……
