During the session Dan set a challenge and on Saturday, October 16 it will be fulfilled when BFONG members host a day in the life of Shoreham and skills sharing workshop at Agora.
Visitors from 11am until 4pm cano share memories of Shoreham, tell their stories, and bring in items of interest. Videos, text, photographs, and audio records of each visit will be uploaded to shorehambfongproject.tumblr.com
The skills sharing workshops offers help to null who would like to tighten up their Facebook privacy, learn how to blog, use Twitter, and basic digital picture editing.
A social media surgery is also on offer for voluntary groups and charities which would like to enhance the organisation’s profile on the internet.
