online, as in the real world, people like to do things together, for a common cause
social media: internet-based tools for sharing stuff and organising activity

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
people want to tell their own stories
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”*)
