This learning is a half day learning option online
This course is a shorter, online version of the Social media/Online Skills for Organising course, and will concentrate solely on the use of social media to organise
- The pros and cons of Social media.
- How to use social media effectively
- Deciding on the best platform
- Creating engaging social media content

A new strand to our Regional Education Programme which focuses on building UNISON in workplaces, campaigning on issues and increasing our activist base.
This will for the first time, include formal regional training for workplace contacts/active members.
These pilot courses are based around UNISON’s national ‘Organising to Win’ Plan. They will cover the skills and knowledge that any UNISON activist can use to build power in the workplace and build the union.
Initially these pilot courses will be split between our Bristol and Taunton offices or held online but if successful, will be rolled out across the region in 2025.
All our options can be seen here: https://southwest.unison.org.uk/events/tag/o2w/
