Museum of London: Training social media reporters
Jun 22nd, 2010 • Category: Case studies
Brief
The Museum of London commissioned us to train a diverse group of Londoners to be social reporters.The project formed part of the museum’s social inclusion programme, which helps young people, adults who are long-term unemployed and others at risk of social exclusion to engage with their heritage.
Approach
We spent a week training a diverse group of Londoners to be social reporters. Our hands-on training sessions gave each member of the group the skills and confidence needed to create a blog and conduct and record interviews.
Equipped with new social media reporting skills, they went on to interview people who were involved in the riots of April 1981.
Outcome
The audio features created by the group were used in a Museum of London exhibition in 2010.
What Museum of London says
“sounddelivery have worked with us on two projects, both with a diverse group of participants, some of whom came from difficult and challenging backgrounds. They were enthusiastic and able to meet the various needs and learning styles of the individuals. They achieved amazing results in incredibly tight timescales, not only in terms of some outstanding podcasts and audio interviews, but also passing on a new set of skills to newly inspired groups.” Lucie Fitton, Inclusion Officer, Community & Audience Development
