This fall St. Paul E-Democracy will hold a series of free workshops
at the new Rondo Community Outreach Library. These free sessions will teach library patrons about existing tools for public participation.
Sessions will cover email; video; blogging; use of search engines to find things on the Internet; how to access St. Paul officials and media; and, digital tools available to participants. These tools can help participants become more engaged in their community. The workshops, led by volunteers and SPNN staff, will provide hands-on experience and simple users' guides are suitable for entry level into the digital world.
I have attached a flier that we hope you can circulate in your organization or post it in your bulletin board. Feel free to print it and distribute it.While this round of mini-workshops will all be in English, we welcome volunteers to teach these workshops in other languages. Please let me know if you are interested in and able to teach classes in another language.
Classes are held at the new Rondo Community Outreach Library at 461 North Dale Street, Saint Paul, MN 55103. Call the library at 651-266-7400 to register.
All classes will have a relaxed atmosphere. Any level of computer knowledge is welcome.
