Social Media and e-Participation Resources
The resources below are often given out as part of my social media and e-participation training packages, depending on what clients require, and are also included in my book ‘The Principles of e-Participation’.
I’m putting them here under a Creative Commons license, which means you can use them if you follow the terms here, in order for them to be useful for as many people as possible. They’re all in pdf, and most are in editable formats where relevant, in case you want to write straight into them from your computer.
Just click on the resource name to download that resource, and please feel free to make use of them!
