PVM joins forces with Uk Online, TAL and CMA on Seaside Voices project

UK Online,  People’s Voice Media, Talk About Local and Community Media Association  were successful in winning a bid to deliver a new project helping four coastal towns get online and build their own online communities. The Seaside Voices Roadshow project will see four lead UK online centres develop their own marketing campaigns and roadshow activities to engage local people in technology, and support them to create their own websites to share local stories, experiences and information. The idea is to create local community partnerships, facilitate inter-generational learning and build a social media legacy that can continue to benefit the towns involved. The project – which runs from December to March – will be delivered in partnership with Talk About Local, People’s Voice Media, and the Community Media Association, who will provide expertise and support in the use of social media. The project will also be supported locally by Post Offices.
