TechSoup Connect Western Canada: Data To Action: Making Your Data Visible and...NetSquared Vancouver
Hosted by TechSoup Connect Western Canada on July 20, 2022.
https://events.techsoup.org/e/m85bvc/
Almost every organization has two superpowers. The first is the data that they have packed away in databases and spreadsheets, often collecting virtual dust on their servers. The second is the visual faculties of their donors, clients, board members and staff members. While most of us glaze over at the sight of a spreadsheet, humans are wired to process visual information at lightning speed. By visualizing our data, we make it more accessible and usable.
You will leave this webinar with a clear understanding of:
The two superpowers organizations have and how to wield them more often and more effectively;
How you can use data visualization (aka data viz) to address key problems you face showing and evaluating your impact;
The types of visualizations that work best for different purposes; and
How to turn a good viz into a great one.

From NetSquared Vancouver's September 16 meetup.
Are you avoiding the blank page of writing an article, with no idea what to write, and a hundred other things you end up doing instead?
Do you scroll social media for your organization, wishing you had something better to post today?
Creating content doesn’t have to be a headache, it can be fun and easy if we change our mindset and adapt the hacks outlined in this webinar.
This isn’t just the world of content, it’s the world of relationships, audience building, and stewardship online to drive future donations.
But content takes time, so it gets left behind! Sadly though, without YOU creating content, you’re leaving your donors to see nothing but posts about the WE Charity scandal and the latest Kardashian drama!
So if the answer to online presence is more content, the next question is how the heck do you do it?? Nonprofits are so busy. This event will show you HOW to create way more content and reduce the time you spend creating.
With more content you have the chance to connect, learn, improve, and do it all over again.
PS. This video is for everyone in your organization, not just the marketing manager. We can all get involved in content!
Joel Harrison is the founder of ElevateHub.ca (BC impact news and job listings), a social impact podcaster, and marketing consultant for nonprofits and social enterprises. You can find links to everything at https://joelmharrison.com
Giving Tuesday is approaching, and it's a tactic many organizations use to help increase year-end donations, but how can you make it work for your nonprofit?

Learning Management Systems for Nonprofits – Net2van July 9 2019NetSquared Vancouver
A Learning Management System (LMS) might be just the tool your organization needs to deliver your education or program content—or maybe not.

What you’ll get from attending:
• Clarity on what an LMS is (and isn’t) and what it can (and can’t) do
• An eLearning terminology cheat sheet (re: the basic nuts and bolts of online learning delivery)
• An overview of some of the most common LMS options for small to medium non-profits
• Top LMS mistakes to avoid and tips for success
• LMS use case stories from a panel of 3 small to medium non-profits (why they invested in an LMS, and how they’re using it).
• Steps your organization can take right now (or later) to determine if an LMS is right for you.

From NetSquared Vancouver's September 16 meetup.
Are you avoiding the blank page of writing an article, with no idea what to write, and a hundred other things you end up doing instead?
Do you scroll social media for your organization, wishing you had something better to post today?
Creating content doesn’t have to be a headache, it can be fun and easy if we change our mindset and adapt the hacks outlined in this webinar.
This isn’t just the world of content, it’s the world of relationships, audience building, and stewardship online to drive future donations.
But content takes time, so it gets left behind! Sadly though, without YOU creating content, you’re leaving your donors to see nothing but posts about the WE Charity scandal and the latest Kardashian drama!
So if the answer to online presence is more content, the next question is how the heck do you do it?? Nonprofits are so busy. This event will show you HOW to create way more content and reduce the time you spend creating.
With more content you have the chance to connect, learn, improve, and do it all over again.
PS. This video is for everyone in your organization, not just the marketing manager. We can all get involved in content!

Giving Tuesday is approaching, and it's a tactic many organizations use to help increase year-end donations, but how can you make it work for your nonprofit?

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
