#socialchange

Are  you looking to build awareness, content, or insight in the social change space?  Bookmark this page. Maybe #smchat #socialchange can help.

This is the home page for #socialchange, a monthly chat series that’s part of the #smchat community. Every 4th Wednesday we’ll meet at 1pm ET using hashtags #smchat and #socialchange. We’ll discuss topics that explore and advance key social change themes, allowing the direction of the conversation to evolve a bit as new faces and new voices join us throughout the year. We’ll stay focused on one subject area for a quarter (3 months) at a time, to allow us to build on prior topics and create some critical mass.

So what’s here is a rough outline, an initial agenda for 2016:

  QTR1 1Q16 Healthcare

• “Health Tech: Helping or Hurting the Underserved?” 1/27
• “How Far can Web-based Medicine Take Us?” 2/24
• “Healthy Choices: Can Social Media fuel your Wellness Agenda?” 3/23

  QTR2 Politics

• Presidential Politics & Social Media
• Mobilizing the Base, with Mobile
• Is #Socialmedia Too Social for Activists?

 QTR3 K12 Education

• Mobile Tech as Equalizer in Global Ed

 QTR4 Energy & Sustainable Environment
