    • ]]>     Last week I gave a presentation at the IFRC’s communications managers meeting about social media in general and how we should use it. Below you find the largest part of that presentation. I removed the bits that were focusing very much on internal processes and steps that need to be taken in-house in order to make social media work. (Red Cross Red Crescent volunteers and staff can download the complete presentation from FedNet, the IFRC’s extranet.)

    I hope you like it. Please tell me what you think.

    Talk with me: Social Media for the Red Cross Red Crescent

    By the way: this is the first presentation I’ve done since reading Nancy Duarte’s excellent “Slide:ology“, a book I highly recommend to anyone who wants to improve his presentation skills.

    • ]]>     I recently had the honour to be in charge of a whole-day social media workshop in Solferino, where the idea for the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement was born. This was part of our 150 year celebrations. It was really interesting because the 50 or so participants where from extremly different countries and backgrounds, as behooves an organization with 186 member countries.

    It was absolutely fascinating to see that how social media is just as interesting to someone from Belgium as from Liberia, from Austria or from Myanmar (!).

    Below is the presentation I gave to kick off the workshop. It’s a bit of a mishmash since I had people in the workshop who were extremely knowledgable and experienced and others for whom this was completely new.

    I honestly believe that the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement with it’s reach and it’s number of volunteers could totally dominate the nonprofit space online. If only we would open up and give up control a little bit.

    I’d be interested to hear what you think of the presentation – so please leave some feedback.
