Social media can be used as a tool for social activism and enacting real change. The document provides instructions for students to split into groups, choose an organization they will represent, and write a short plan for a social media campaign around an issue the organization campaigns on. The plan should identify who they will target, which platforms they will use, summarize the campaign in one sentence, and define what success would look like.

Notes de l'éditeur
Like any element of advocacy campaigns - digital media is just one part of a bigger picture. That being said it is quite crucial
Who you're trying to reach may determine the means or channel. Certain influencers don't have email addresses available to public. Could targeting them with a dedicated Twitter action be more effective?
We should NEVER look to use any platform just because it is there or we use it for another area of our work. We must assess how appropriate a platform is to a specific campaign
Change.org, Avaaz, 38 Degrees, etc
Simple stories – easy to tell, easy to share
Your campaign may well ignite your intended audience and get their enthusiastic backing. However, trolls lurk everywhere on the internet. They like nothing better than to sound off about things they don't agree with....much more than when they do agree or have anything positive to say. How are you going to deal with them? Why not sit down with your team and decide on the approach you'll adopt in dealing with these people
It is vital that (like any other part of your work on digital media) you must know what success will look like? How will you measure it?

In three days.In February 2012, 38 degrees wanted to make the government’s proposed changes to the NHS a major issue during the London mayoral elections.They aimed to do this with a high-profile poster campaign across the capital, but funding it was going to be expensive.38 Degrees supporters were sent an email containing the proposed creative work, in effect asking them to approve it. The results were impressive, with the initial £60,000 target met in just six hours...
