6th World Summit Part One
In the sunshine city spreading social media rays
(SWE) Honoured to be participating again in the World Summit on Media for Children and Youth 2010, taking place in Karlstad, Sweden (we were at the last summit in Africa four years ago).
For this event I’ll be running two identical sessions entitled, “Social Media For All“, focusing on practical communication methods and the connective power of social media—a mix of a quick presentation plus masterclass.
Hoping to also capture some interesting podcasts and vodcasts throughout my time here as well (to follow in Part Two).
It was my pleasure to introduce you at a well attended masterclass for young practitioners on Social Media for All at the 6th World Summit for Children and Youth held in Karlstad, Sweden, June 14-18, 2010. Judging from their reactions the young audience found your fast-paced presentation both stimulating and thought provoking. You certainly know how to generate a real interest among your audience. What sometimes has been an over-emphasis on traditional media models and practices at the World Summits got a welcome balance by you focusing on practical communications methods and the connective power of social media.

Was just sitting at the lounge downstairs looking at your website and thinking about yesterday’s sessions, and yours has by far been the best so far. I never knew so much about social media and now I’m inspired to do some projects with it in Brazil with youth in Favelas, when I go back (that’s where I currently live teaching English). THANks ALOT ! see you throughout the day!
