Taking place at the University of Manchester tomorrow, Netroots North West is an event to network and inspire progressive activists working on the web, supporting the growth of infrastructure, networks and movements for left activism (book here).
Around a hundred bloggers, tweeters and online campaigners will attend an afternoon of workshops and presentations, ranging from practical training in improving digital communication skills, to wider debates on strategies for progressive digital activism.
General windbag and Scrapbook rival Sunny Hundal explains:
“The last year has also seen the emergence of real challenge from the grassroots, in the UK and internationally, connected and amplified by the internet. We want to bring campaigners from across the North West together to learn from each other and help build a bigger and broader movement that can stand up for the different causes that each of us value.”
So if you’re looking to build an online campaign, or you want to link up with other activists, or perhaps learn how best to hold decision-makers to account, then don’t miss out. The last few tickets are available here for just a fiver.
Our very own northerner and Scrapbook editor Laurence Durnan will also be speaking.
