Hans Thoolen on Human Rights Defenders and their awards

You can join the ‘engine room’ and the New Tactics online community for an online conversation on “Incorporating Social Media into Your Human Rights Campaigning“. This will take place from 13 to 17 May 2013.

Social media are increasingly being used by human rights organizations around the world, but the question remains how do organizations use these tools strategically and creatively to reach their goals?  The online conversation will explore topics such as:

• How to define your social media goals and targets;
• Strategizing about how to reach your stakeholders with social media;
• Making decisions about the resources you should devote to building and maintaining a social media presence;
• How to use social media without putting your staff and your constituents at risk.

This online conversation will be an opportunity to exchange experiences, lessons-learned and best practices among practitioners using social media strategically in human rights work.
