2. Definition..?
• Lots of people have heard of
microvolunteering..
• Few people have done it
• Few people know how to define it
• We said: “convenient, bitesized,
crowdsourced, and networked managed”
(definition by Sparked)
11. There are LOTS of platforms..
• Do we need a platform?
• How would it help our work in properties..?
12. What if we start with what we’ve
got..?
• In groups, please write a NT role profile for
The Queen.
13. Now - what about having
exactly the same
qualities, but spread
across 100 people..?
14.
15. Next steps..?
• We have 27 million people who want to help us
with our work
• We have lists of micro tasks by property
• We have lists of micro tasks which can be done
online
• We can use our existing communication tools to
connect the two!
• We need to work on ‘letting go’
• We need to work on people self-managing their
volunteering if we never meet them
16. Examples..?
There’s some excellent examples already
happening in properties:
• text reporting broken fences
• leaflet collection & distribution points
• Help setting up facebook accounts
• Focus groups & polls via twitter
• Your volunteers will help you..!
