(HOW) CAN SOCIAL MEDIA SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE WAYS OF LIVING

The CSCP is going to host an expert round and a workshop on “(How) can social media support sustainable ways of living?” on 17 February 2012 at the upcoming Social Media Week in Hamburg, Germany.

 

Reflecting on the global impact of social media and its role as a catalyst in driving cultural, political, economic and social change, the Social Media Week’s in February 2012 will focus on Empowering Change through Collaboration. This theme is designed as a call to action, allowing individuals and organizations around the world to explore how social media empowers citizens, increases mobility, enables mass collaboration, develops hyperlocalism, maximizes interconnectedness, fosters knowledge creation & sharing, bolsters leadership, and encourages global empathy.

 

Against this background, the CSCP will present the SPREAD Sustainable Lifestyles 2050 project  and organise an expert round and a workshop to showcase current contributions of social media (e.g. swapping platforms, …) to sustainable livings models, the potential to strengthen that role in the present and to discuss and question the potential role in the future.
