Coming March 29 to Dublin: Free Citizen 2.0 Training
The Tri-Valley’s first Citizen 2.0 training will be held on March 29, 2009 from 1:00PM to 3:00PM at the Elan community room in Dublin (between BART and Dublin Boulevard). The focus of this free training session will be to provide residents with an overview of the various social media tools (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, Yelp) that empower citizens and businesspeople to engage with their local community and government in ways not seen since back in the days of small town life.
This free 2-hour Citizen 2.0 training will provide:
- An overview of the importance of participation in local government;
- Suggestions for how to overcome barriers to participation as a Citizen 2.0 using social media tools; and
- Advice on how local citizens can make a difference using social media tools to build community, advance issues, drive local business development, and participate in local policy making.
The Around Dublin Team will also be on-hand to share a few examples related to the Around Dublin blog and to benefit from the invaluable knowledge presented during this hands-on training session.
Please visit Dublin Townhall or email Adriel Hampton at adriel@adrielhampton.com for more information about this event.
