The topic of the Workshop “Social Media – Facebook and Co – Consequences for the society” will
deal with chances and risks of Social Media. Topics of interest are: Social Media in common
(different types of Social Media, profiles etc.) appearance and application in Europe and userprofiles.
Additionally, forms of Social Media will be compared with traditional forms of media. A
critical view at the media-politics in the countries and the consequences for society, especially for
socially disadvantaged people, are main points of the discussion in the workshop. During the
workshop we will make an excursion to the head-office of a regional newspaper and to an
organisation (“Medienwerkstatt”) which organises media workshops for different kind of people.
We plan to invite local journalists and politicians for discussing the role of Social Media in the field
of information and politics. We will work with different kinds of methods (group-work,
brainstorming, presentation,..) and we will use the methods of “Geocaching”. This is an alternative
form of communication. We will go with GPS and find caches.
