[edit] About

Welcome to the Social Media for NGOs wiki, created in partnership between SANGONeT and The African Commons Project.

This wiki is being developed into a resource for non-profit organisations in South Africa, giving insight into social media tools, and giving local examples of how these tools are being applied within this sector. The majority of this information stems from discussions and panels from the Sangonet '09 Conference held in Johannesburg and Cape Town in October.

This wiki stems from workshops held in 2009 run by The African Commons Project in collaboration with Sangonet, providing training to NGOs on how to use social media to have conversations with their constituents and stakeholders. Thus, this wiki space includes the outline of the workshop, content, resources, and practical sessions attached to each workshop.

Feel free to use this information as well as to add suggestions or comments!

[edit] Workshop: Introduction to Social Media

This workshop is aimed at non-profit practitioners who are comfortable with using a computer, and who may have heard about social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook but do not know how to integrate these tools into their strategies or implement them practically. This day long session will provide theory and practical sessions to come to grips with social media platforms.
