The Power of Technology and Social Media for Social Change
Lucia Dellagnelo - ICOM Fernanda Bornhausen Sá - IVASynergos Fellows
Social Networks are about communities
Social networks are about relationships and connection, not technology
It is necessary that the network actually exists, there must be a number of people willing to connect to the network
This can not be provided by some information and communication technology.Technologies can help articulate and animate a network, but can not create a network
Social Media & Its Power…
The “new web” has transformed the way
people interact and even the way they think! Social media platforms are now occupying a vital portion of many organizational
and business strategies at different
levels
Social media has the power to change the way people
engage and donate to their communities; thus re-
shaping philanthropy and non-profit organizations
Social Media & Its Power…
Non-profit organizations can change the way they
operate and engage donors using social
media
There is a new window of opportunity to promote
social change!!
Clay Shirk(Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age)
The ability of social networks (and self-organising groups) to do private, public and even civic good.
The internet lowers the barriers to participation so much further, that the real surprise is that we
don't do more.
The opportunity before us , individually and collectively, is enormous; what we do with it will be largely
determined by how well we are able to imagine and reward public creativity, participation, and sharing.
Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives
“Our interconnection is not only a natural and necessary part of our lives but also a force for good”.
“Just as brains can do things that no single neuron can do, can social networks do things that no single person can do”
Professors Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler

What is happening? Trends
Networked Nonprofits
They are easy for outsiders to get in and insiders to get out.
They engage people to shape and share their work in order to raise awareness of social issues, organize communities to provide services or advocate for legislation. In the long run, they are helping to make the world a safer, fairer, healthier place to live.
Networked Nonprofits are simple and transparent organizations.
Networked Nonprofits Networked Nonprofits don’t work harder
or longer than other organizations, they work differently. They engage in conversations with people beyond their walls — lots of conversations — to build relationships that spread their work through the network. Incorporating relationship building as a core responsibility of all staffers fundamentally changes their to-do lists. Working this way is only possible because of the advent of social media. • All Networked Nonprofits are comfortable using the new social media toolset — digital tools such as email, blogs, and Facebook
that encourage two-way conversations between people, and between people and organizations, to enlarge their efforts
quickly, easily and inexpensively.

How tecnology can help Organizations to promote social change and sustentability
Information technology and internet can help
nonprofit organizations to explore and build
communities to leverage positive social change.
Through this technology we are able to connect,
share and act on behalf of a cause on global scale and speed never seen
before.
Why TiB

VOLUNTARIOSONLINE.ORG.BR in Social Netwoks
Social Networks are increasingly important for Voluntários Online strategies of action, as instruments for organization and articulation of individuals towards our cause
They help us identify daily, new and better ways of activism, displaying ideas and innovations, together with a significant support to spread our cause of volunteerism for social change at a global scale.
The concept of plurality and networks popularization constantly guides us, fostering the building of broad coalitions and integration of new groups that identify with our cause.
Our main audience in social networks is a new generation of youngsters with ethics and commitment that help them as individual agents achieve changes by getting together in these networks.
Original features of civil society engagement are being completely remodeled by these new information systems.
