Hi everyone! Our partner Europa Nostra is looking for volunteers for their social media network, who would like to work on promoting cultural heritage in their country through social media. I can imagine that there are some potential enthusiasts in our Wiki Loves Monuments circles :) Please find below the call for volunteers by Wolter Braamhorst at Europa Nostra with more details. Best, Lodewijk ---- Dear all, Europa Nostra is initiating a new participatory programme, called Social Media Volunteers for Heritage. Our partner for this programme is European Heritage Volunteers. The programme is part of our long term project 'Mainstreaming Heritage' which is supported under the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. We hope this project is of interest to you and your network. I would appreciate it highly if you could inform colleagues and friends about this new initiative and I hope many of them will be tempted to get involved. Let me first tell you more about what we planning to do. Social Media Volunteers for Heritage are volunteers who work digitally to further the cause and the message of the European heritage world through a variety of social media. These volunteers publish – remotely from their own location – stories, photos and videos on cultural heritage issues in their own country and follow the media of their colleagues in other countries as well as of Europa Nostra and European Heritage Volunteers. The Social Media Volunteers for Heritage network will not strictly be an Europa Nostra activity, it will exist outside of our web environment. What are we looking for? In our opinion, civil society social media volunteers should be marathon runners, in it for the long run with a positive message, geared towards solutions and opportunities, tailored to the intended audiences. We need multi-taskers who look at subjects objectively, who want to tell and share stories, who are enthusiastic about the heritage in their own country and across Europe. We are looking to create a reliable European network of volunteers, at least one in each European country, to be the ears and eyes of Europe's heritage community. A kick-off meeting will be held in Weimar, Germany at the end of August with the selected candidates. The Social Media Volunteers for Heritage will be selected by Europa Nosta and European Heritage Volunteers on the basis of an on-line application form, which you can find *HERE <https://form.jotformeu.com/60342977749368>* All the best, Wolter Braamhorst Social Media Volunteers for Heritage Project _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org
