WEBINAR - Learning from other Organisations. How Community Groups Can Grow
Online Meeting (map)
This is the third webinar presented with NatCan, and will look at how community groups and associations can learn from each – not just connect and share but actively learn as well.
In this Webinar Joe Taylor will lead a discussion based on the experience of NatCAN and the way it has began to grow and develop using learning from other organisations? The webinar will discuss
- What is working across other organisations? (looking at how unions and lobbyists work to change things and influence politicians )
- What are the strengths of social media and how do we use to its best affects?
- Who should we be working with to affect change (allies)
- How do we encourage participation and what do members want to get involved in?
- Who do we need on side?
- What is the role of politics in NatCAN?.
The speakers will be
Andy Benson cut his teeth as a community activist in the early 1970s, working as a rights and community worker in South London. Here he learnt that the route to social justice can demand a willingness to reach for many different ways and means, including extra-legal and direct action. There followed 8 years of work in the housing and homelessness sector before going freelance in 1986. Since then, his consultancy work has taken him into most corners of the voluntary sector – community groups, service-providing voluntary agencies and national charities.
Antony Carpen who spent seven years in the civil service, working across a range of policy areas including local government reform, sustainable buildings and community empowerment. After leaving the civil service in 2011 he undertook teacher training in the post-16 to underpin a number of policy and social media-related training projects that he is currently working on.

Margarita FoleyFull MemberAlthough I was delayed and didn't get to live webinar, I followed replay with interest. It was like a mindmap bringing together the kind of information it is so important to have in relation to where it's at and how using social media is so useful. I agree that education in the use of social media is so important provided there is no hidden agenda and the individual and common Good is kept in mind. Thank you so much to all you wonderful people for the information and support you provide. Margarita
