Media Release: Free social media training for voluntary and community groups in Perth

logo

VOLUNTARY and community groups in Perth are being offered FREE training on how to get the best out of the internet.

Run by Voluntary Arts Scotland, ‘Getting On – Online’ is aimed at people who are happy using the internet, but aren’t sure how it could help promote their activity – who may have a Facebook page but not enough ‘likes’, and are thinking about Twitter but aren’t sure what to tweet.

At the training session, which takes place at Perth & Kinross Association of Voluntary Service, North Methven Street, Perth on Saturday 5 October from 10am – 4pm, participants can:

  • Learn how to make the most of Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites
  • Discover why using videos and photography are a great way to tell your ‘story’
  • Find out about the benefits of blogging
  • Make the most of time spent online
