"Hey Suvi,
The Internet is definitely a good tool for promoting volunteering - both for making people aware of opportunities to volunteer in physical settings, and creating opportunities for digital voluntary action.
I know TheSite.org…"

Internet is one good tool for promoting voluntary work, isn't? Coming 2011 is the European Year of Volunteering. How can we tell about possibilities to do voluntary work on the Internet? We certainly know a lot of things and activities connected to voluntary work and volunteers amongst youth and Internet. Let's start sharing all the good practices, ideas and develop contacts between us who are interested in youth participation, voluntary work and Internet as a creat opportunity in coming…See More

As a professional youth worker I am more than happy about clear connection to professional issues about youth work, not young people in common. I have certain fear that…"

I have started to construct ideas based to David Buckinham's ideas about media and youth. http://cscym.zerolab.info/people/64-staff-member/74-professor-david-buckinghamFirst of all, I rather like to talk about web based youth work instead of e-youth work. Why is that? There are at least three…See More

Tony Brown replied to Mildred Talabi's discussion Email marketing - how do you do yours?"Hi Mildred.
I currently use Awebber for my email campaigns.
It's a paid service, but after my research, it seemed to be the best option for me.
I also have a mail chimp account, but I have never used it.

Using Creative Assessment Tools for Practitioners at Attlee Youth & Community Centre, London E1
April 11, 2013 from 9:30am to 4:30pm
BackgroundOne of the challenges of assessment processes with young people is how to secure their involvement and active participation. Only too often assessment can become something that is ‘done’ to young people (or a form that needs to be filled in), rather than a dynamic process that puts them at the centre, something theyare involved with and have some ownership over. The assessment tools called ‘CAF Cards’ and ‘Road Sign Cards’ have been developed with young people to work with the…See More
