I AM A SOCIAL PRO

I do rounds on the net. All over from News, blogs, TL's, trends to Wikipedia. So while patrolling the net yesterday I came across an article that caught my attention. Not really cause there's money to be made or an interesting meme to laugh about and share but there's social responsibility. The Article on iHub blog is written by Muthuri Kinyamu (@KenyanMarketer).
Muthuri is kikuyu for 'a man'. Not just a man but a man who's made choices - good choices for that matter.
I'm aware of the limits of kissing ass as per the new constitution and so I'll proceed to talking about what the content is about. In his article @KenyanMarketer tries to explain of how Social media has become an important tool for communication/mobilization and sharing. This is in relation to the recent #KOTAgainstMPBonus which if you're a #KOT you're well aware of. Still on the same he's tried to illustrate the threats and opportunities these platforms pose to our society.
So that's where the social clubs come in and aim at educating the mass tweeps and citizens on social media on the need to be ethical and professional in engaging online for the sake of the societal good.

This will work under a campaign dubbed the  "AM A SOCIAL PRO"


The core objective of these clubs is to teach, educate, create awareness and impart knowledge & skills of various disciplines of social media and platforms to the university students to unlock the massive potential on social media. The faculty will also benefit from these clubs as they’ll learn how to create and share digital content in various formats with the students across various platforms as well as help them embrace new media and integrate it to teaching.

The launch is of Social Media Clubs in Kenya is set to be on the 25th October.
