Social Innovation Camp is an experiment in creating social innovations for the digital age.Continue

UK Youth Online is now Youth Work Online
After a quick poll of network members, and in response to confusion of our former name 'UK Youth Online' with the charity 'UK Youth' - this network is henceforth known as 'Youth Work Online'.
The broad focus of the network on supporting practitioners who work with young people to explore and engage with new technologies remains.
Over the coming weeks we'll be building a few more features into this network - to make sure as many people as possible can enjoy the opportunity… Continue

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.

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
