Twitter is a great campaign tool, but very under-used by many of the grassroots activists we work with. We want to get more of you on there - not only does it inform journalists and MPs but its also an extraordinary way to follow and monitor international events or at a local level, issues relating to your campaign - as well as the advocacy capacity it offers.

You can choose your own experience on Twitter and we believe its more Town Square of your choosing than having wall to wall tantrums.

* Learn how to use twitter effectively for your campaigns.

* Why aren't you on there already - discussing barriers

* Why this is an under-utilised tool for grassroots activists

* Following, interacting directly with and driving traditional media

* Interaction with politicians and opponents - a rare opportunity

We also hope to have a Q&A session - to hear from various activists about successful use of twitter - more to come on this

Registration is mandatory for safety reasons, however its free or by donation as you choose.

This WILL NOT be a 101 to twitter. We suggest if you are brand new, download twitter, set up a good username (simple, and relatable to you if its not anonymous) and get used to the basics. Do some self education. Some resources will be emailed upon registration.
