Using Online Social Media to Engage & Promote Participation With Young People
Social media are part of young people’s everyday lives (Facebook,
messenger, bebo etc). As practitioners, and managers of practitioners working
with young people how should we respond to this? Should we ignore the technology
and play safe by keeping to old means of communication? Should we embrace the
technology and become virtual youth practitioners? What are the ethics and the
practicalities involved with online youth work? Which methods should we use?
What are the risks and benefits?
All these questions and more are the reason that The London East Connections have commissioned
this new innovative training to explore such pressing
topic. This one day course will be held in Stratford, East London on Tuesday 28th September. Fore more details please check the Kent Skill Seekers Training Calendar (28th September) on the front page.
