Have a butchers at pages 3 & 4. I've helped GCVS put together a digital media training programme for 2012, aided by various #BeGoodBeSocial regulars:

• 
  Writing for the web - Content strategistic, copywriter and keen cyclist Ann Cook will be hosting this workshop exploring blogs, newsletters, content strategy and more.

• Social media basics - I'll be hosting this one, you'll hear from some people making real headway with social media in the Scottish third sector throughout the day.

• Using Twitter and Facebook for your organisation - I'll be joined by Martin Keane, Social Media Strategist with Third Sector Lab and digital chap for SCIAF for this one.

• Measuring your online success - This workshop will be hosted by Conrad Rossouw of Shelter Scotland. He'll be giving solid practical advice on how you can measure your impact online.

• Online fundraising - This one will be hosted by Sara Thomas, fundraiser with MND Scotland. She'll be haring her experiences of using online fundraising tools  within MND Scotland.

• Video for the web - #BeGoodBeSocial video expert Erin Maguire will take workshop attendees through the process of planning, shooting, editing and uploading a video from scratch.

Booking details are included in the PDF above.
