Welcome to the Social Media Exchange

June 11, 2008 by RootSpaceOnline

Social Media Exchange is a six-month program to introduce and train members of Lebanon's civil society (organizations and individuals) in social and participatory media on the Internet, both (1) to help organizations and projects improve and streamline their internal organization, management and communications, and (2) to help them more efficiently and effectively achieve their social objectives.

The program will unfold in two phases. The first phase will consist of an introductory seminar on the social web, including social bookmarking, RSS (Really Simple Syndication), and blogging, and how it can be applied in an NGO environment. The second phase will comprise advanced, hands-on workshops in the various technologies as well as mentorship opportunities for select NGO participants.

Introductory seminars will be conducted in various regions of Lebanon, while most of the hands-on workshops will take place in Beirut. The schedule and more detailed information will be available soon.
