Mobile for Social Change
Hand-held technologies are changing the way we outreach, engage and mobilize communities. Recent mobile giving campaigns have seen unprecedented fundraising efforts in Japan and Haiti and transformational human rights campaigns launched around the world. The potential for impact through mobile technology is now being fully realized.
Mobile for Social Change is a two-day training (June 9&10) event that will inform, teach and inspire the Canadian community sector about mobile’s capacity to achieve social change goals.
Below is a list of presentations from our wonderful facilitators.
