talk about local at Borderlines Film Festival this Thursday

2nd March 2010 by nickygetgood

http://www.borderlinesfilmfestival.co.uk/

This Thursday 4th March myself and Mike Rawlins will be leading a talk about local workshop at The Courtyard, Hereford as part of the Borderlines Film Festival, Britain’s biggest rural film festival.  The workshop is part of a series of events under the banner ‘Here Comes Everyone – Citizen Journalism in the Digital Age’ and adds a practical element to a Wednesday jam-packed with films screenings, talks from the likes of Christian Payne and panel discussions such as Get Local, which includes a contributor to the first local website that emerged from the talk about local project, The Kington Blackboard.

Following a day filled with ideas and inspiration, we’ll be showing how you can Do It Yourself with a workshop demonstrating the simple skills and free platforms you can use to create a powerful online voice and how to use these effectively to raise awareness and positive action on the issues that matter to you.  So if you’re in the Hereford area and would like to develop an online presence for your community, please book a ticket and join us this Thursday at 10.00am in The Courtyard, Hereford.

    I was sorry to miss your event on Thursday as part of the Borderlines Festival. I have recently come accroos a lot of people in the ‘grey surfer’ category who make little use of their broadband connection apart from e-mails. Several recent recruits to braodband are bewildered by the terminology of Twitter, Facebook etc and I think there is a need for a workshop up here in the foothills of the Black Mountains. I have a venue with a BT telephone connection, overhead projection and a large screen.

    If you can make any suggestions or recommend someone to lead a workshop it would be much appreciated. As such I am acting on my own initiative but I have a few potential helpers should we take it further.
