5.6 Onsite social reporting / social media team priorities

At the first onsite meeting, we agreed on the following key points:

  • We will have fun while doing the social reporting work. Life is too short without fun.
  • Many of the social reports are both Share Fair participants as well as social reporters. Each of us will have to strike a balance between the two, and realize that social reporting will give us extra work beyond 'participating in the sessions'
  • Social reporters will be able to choose which session they report from, based on their interest as 'participants in the Share Fair'. If some sessions are insufficiently covered, we will ask for volunteers to report from them.
  • The overall purpose of the social media team is to "reflect on and register of what is going on", to the participants as well as to the outside world. The "social media produce" will be used as the legacy for the Fair, as well as for advocacy purposes (arising awareness of the issues brought up).
  • Beyond social reporting, we are also here "to learn and to teach": each of us can learn from the others in social media tools we don't master yet. At the same time, we can share our own knowledge of tools and methods with our peers.
  • We will recruit Share Fair participants as new volunteers within the social media team. Each of us will ensure these 'newcomers' integrate well, feel part of the team and get access to all tools. If these newcomers are also social media newbies, we will ensure they get properly trained on the tools which are of interest to them.
  • Our key priority is to report from the sessions, from the Share Fair as a whole, but also leave room to focus on key issues which come up during the Fair. We will do so through:

session wrap-up reports, on-site live snapshots (key phrases, issues which catch our attention), side-line interviews with interesting people and on issues, while leaving room to reflect on our personal appreciation of the Share Fair. >>

  • We will use interviews with people to delve deeper into certain issues
