If what we’re doing is right, and if we
give them the tools, young people will
do the marketing and organising for us
(and be better at it than we are)
everyone’s a media-owner

everyone’s a media-owner
New spaces for young people

the rules of engagement
Build the story, layer by layer

(give activists and involved people tools and media to do
it for you, trust them to act for the common good)
More useful = more engaging

(“real engagement is when people do things you didn’t
ask them to”)
Make it personal

People trust institutions less and less, but want to be
valued and recognised members of communities
Connect to the wider web
Decentralise, release control

(“the social web is disruptive, but some members of the
SMT are still resisting”*)
