30 April 2009
Went to the new People's Association HQ near Lavender MRT station for the first time. The building was formerly a school building. Overall the building looks stylish and professional.
The purpose for us (Edmund, Hock Rong, myself) being there was to attend a sharing session on New Media initiatives taking place in various constituencies. I was impressed by the spread of food and the welcoming smiles from the staff. This goes to show the emphasis placed on New Media.
If you thought New Media was for the young, then you are wrong. The New Media Champions that turned up were of various ages. New Media is about reaching out to everyone.
5 New Media Champions shared their strategies and experiences. Some placed emphasis on social networking sites, while others focus more on websites. Hence, there was a wide range of lessons being learnt.
I was attracted to a few models. These include the Moulmein website as well as the Joo Chatters. They truly show that community websites done by volunteers can be also professional and interactive. I am greatly inspired by the sharing session and hope to do my part for my own constituency.
