Scotland’s new social media platform goes live at midday
‘Think and Do tank’ Common Weal launch their new social media platform today. Two years in the planning, organisers say the space offers opportunities for debate, discussion and ideas about Scotland’s future.
In an email issued to supporters yesterday, Common Weal said:
When Common Weal first started, it was suggested to us by many that what we needed most was a space to bring everyone together, to stay connected, to share ideas and plan for our future. Well, nearly two years later, we’ve finally done it.
Because of the investment from our partners – our regular donors – we have been able to take all the great things about social media and create a space where we can come together, to discuss the immense challenges we face in our social, political and economic future. It is a place for debate, to learn and educate, to share our experiences, and plan and strategise.
Making change isn’t easy. It takes hard work. But isn’t that the most exciting part? The more effort we put in now, at a grassroots level, the greater the results will be. The wealth of knowledge in Scotland is astounding, but it’s frustrating when we don’t know how to put that knowledge into action. Let’s become the media, become the experts, let’s be the powerful ones shaping our future.
I hope you will join us on by setting up a profile for the launch tomorrow – Saturday 13th August. We created it together. Let’s utilise it in the best possible way.
