[ecrea] Media for Social Change UnConference

List members may be interested in this free event taking place at the Birmingham Centre for Media&  Cultural Research at Birmingham City University on Saturday 3rd May:

Join us for a full day of exciting talks and discussions at the Media for Social Change Unconference event at Birmingham City University, on Saturday May 3, 2014 (9am-5pm).

This event is an opportunity to informally exchange ideas and information with leading academics, research students, political activists and media practitioners, and is aimed at anyone interested in the role of media in building communities, supporting development or bringing about political change.

This Unconference will take BCMCR's work in the MENA (Middle East and North African) region as its starting point to discuss how ideas, methodologies and practices emerging from our research can be applied elsewhere. If you want to know more about the Unconference format and how to prepare for your attendance ahead of your registration follow this link:http://www.unconference.net/unconferencing-how-to-prepare-to-attend-an-unconference/.

Here are the four main themes we will be exploring together: Citizen Reporting&  Social Change | Language Mediation | Media in times of conflict | Video for social change

We have a number of great speakers from the Arab region, the US&  Europe, but an Unconference event is all about the crowd! Places are free but extremely limited, so sign up today!
