Vibewire’s wonderful online youth conference, e-Festival of Ideas, opens this week. I feel privileged to have been invited to contribute to the e-Festival as a guest panelist on the topic of ‘Social Media Making a Change?’

We’ll be looking at how social media can drive social change; how online media tools and applications impact poverty, climate change, unemployment or violence and if they do how can we truly measure it. As well as the important question of whether or not social media users exist in a bubble of their conversations with each other. 

I’m in great company, as Tasha Judd and Stacey Monk will also be contributing to the week’s discussions and debates. Click the shiny red lightblub below to join in with the e-Festival.
