Over the past couple of years, Save the Children has been working with bloggers in novel and innovative ways to help parents and children at risk around the world. This Saturday, 17 September, it’s hosting a free blogging and vlogging conference in London, at which bloggers can learn new skills and meet some of the charity’s health worker heroes.
Jennifer from BritMums (@JHowze, www.jenography.net) will be there, speaking alongside some of our favourite bloggers - @Nickie72, @ChristineMosler and @KateTakes5. We'll be talking about starting blogging. Other sessions will include video blogging (something we think everybody should be doing) and taking your blog to the next level. (See the full schedule for the conference.)
If you want to use your blog for good causes, if blog about other parts of the world, if you're interested in women's and children's health, or if you're just interested in how blogs tell stories, you won’t want to miss this day.
Director of Emergencies Gareth Owen will talk about the crisis in East Africa and bloggers like Christine and Tracey Cheetham will describe their experiences visiting a clinic in rural Mozambique. You can also join STC’s Health worker campaign, which puts the focus on the people who help save lives:
Without them, no vaccine can be administered, no life-saving drugs prescribed, no family planning advice provided and no woman can be given expert care during childbirth.
The conference starts at 9:30 and you catch Jennifer at 12:00 in the session "Blogging 101: Everything you need to know about blogging but were afraid to ask."
See you there!
