Format
The training will take place online, using the Zoom platform (free).
You won’t spend all your time listening the tutor – the workshop will be as interactive as we can make it, combining learning with the networking that is always a valuable part of FEU Training workshops. It includes short exercises, as part of the learning process, which will also enable participants to work together.
Learning outcomes
- You’ll learn how to set up an Instagram account, create/hone your profile, create a post and get some tips on how to get the best from the app.
- You will create an account and a post during the workshop, but you don’t actually have to share it with the world, if you prefer not to.
- You will be given tips and tools to help you build on the topics covered during the workshop.
Tutor: Kate Willoughby
