This practical workshop will have you making video reports straight away with the equipment you already have. Lack of experience is no problem. Commitment to make citizen media straight away is much more important. Using visionOn.tv’s templates and your own cameraphone, the workshop will provide you with easily-acquired skills for reporting events and actions, and distributing them effectively. Continue reading
The workshop programme forms the core of Netroots UK, with a choice of sessions ranging from small practical tutorials through to large campaign strategy discussions.
