Young Adults’ Social Media Advisory Panel: A workshop to develop the city's social media communications

What sort of content should the City of Helsinki be posting on social media? How do young adults come across the city’s communications, and what sort of topics interest them? Join us for the first-ever workshop organised by the Helsinki Young Adults’ Social Media Advisory Panel! The workshop will discuss the everyday lives of young adults in Helsinki, the city’s social media communications, and how the city’s content could be developed to better serve young adults. If you can’t make it to the workshop, you can still join the Social Media Advisory Panel! You can sign up through the same registration link. The workshop is part of the City of Helsinki’s ‘Young Adults’ project, which aims to develop the city’s communications in collaboration with Helsinki residents aged 20–29. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to: · share your views on the city’s social media communications, · provide feedback on content ideas and suggestions for improvement, · meet other young adults living in Helsinki, and · influence what kind of content the City of Helsinki produces in the future. Refreshments will be provided. Who? Helsinki residents aged 20–29 When? Thursday 3 December 18.00–20.00 Where? Helsinki City Hall’s Event Square, Street address: Pohjoisesplanadi 11–13 Registration Advance registration is required, as there are a limited number of spots available. Please use the link to both join the panel and register for the workshop. What do you do as a member of the Social Media Advisory Panel? Take part in two in-person workshops a year. Complete short online testing and feedback tasks around once a month. Share your own views. You don’t need to be a social media expert or speak on behalf of anyone else! What do you get as a panel member? Get a behind-the-scenes look at how the city’s social media content is made, have a say in it, and see how your ideas and feedback are put into practice. Meet other Helsinki residents and the people who create the city’s social media content. Snacks and refreshments at the workshops. Receive a certificate of participation that you can add to your CV. Workshop participants will receive a small thank-you gift. Gift cards will also be raffled among those who complete the online tasks. Who can join the panel? Anyone aged 20–29 who lives in Helsinki. The main language of the panel is Finnish, but you can also take part in discussions in English. We would especially like to have people in different life situations involved: students, people who are working, and those who are currently neither working nor studying. You don’t need to take part in every panel activity, and you can leave the panel at any time. More information: Emilia Roos [email protected]
