Note the weblink should be www.socialmediaexchange.org.uk > Bursaries for Social Media Exchange for the Cultural and Heritage Sectors event Social networking, blogging, podcasting and the plethora of social media applications create great opportunities within the Heritage sector. They're cost-effective, quick to get going and have the potential to reach and engage new audiences. But how can you apply them in your own organisations? The Social Media Exchange is an exciting one day practical training event on the 1 June, specifically aimed at staff working in museums, galleries, libraries, archives and heritage sites. The day includes bitesize peer-led masterclasses, practical social media surgeries and collaboration and networking opportunities to enhance your social media knowhow.
