Affordable (€10) 'Social Media for Change' training in Cork on Jan 21st

In 1994, Ballyphehane CDP's office had a typewritter and a telephone to communicate with the outside world. Now everyone has a tablet and they can communicate with most members of the community without leaving the building (they do leave the building). On Jan 21st, they're hosting a seminar on using Social Media for Social Change and will look at how new technologies can help us communicate, campaign and challenge in the 21^st century.

The event is supported by Cork City Partnership, the Irish Examiner and RTE.
