Getting on Online

Expert Social Media help for free from Voluntary Arts Scotland.

Voluntary and community groups around Scotland are being offered FREE training on how to get the best out of the internet.

Run by Voluntary Arts Scotland, the sessions are 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 participants can:

• Learn how to make the most of Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites

• Discover why using videos and photography is a great way to tell your ‘story’

• Find out about the benefits of blogging

• Make the most of time spent online
