For some months I have been involved in a blogging project, that is being run by the CivicSurf team.
I’ve run a number of blogging workshops in the past, mainly for councillors, but this one is a bit different. It is aimed at people who want to provide a counter-balance to some of the more aggressive extremist and terrorist-supporting views that can be found online.
So, somewhat to my surprise, I found myself, with a colleague, promoting Empowering Voices Online at the annual conference on Preventing Violent Extremism in Birmingham this week. Met some very interesting people …..
On the way back to New St Station I walked through Birmingham’s Christmas Fair, which claims to be the biggest German Christmas Fair outside Germany. It’s main base is outside City Hall, centred around a traditional carousel, but the wooden stalls spread into many of the surrounding streets. There must have been a couple of hundred 100 of them in all, rather dwarfing our delightful mini German Fair in Kingston’s Ancient Market.
Update
I have just heard from one of the new bloggers who will be joining us on Saturday.
