Social Media as a Platform to Mobilize Efforts

Social media has created a new trend – the power of the collective effort; the ability to co-produce a movement to change the world.

We were inspired by the recent video of Michael Teoh from Malaysia. Michael correctly reminds us all, that social media has provided a new platform to connect; to listen; to learn; and to express ourselves.

Many of us have long recognized that social media is changing our ability to push our causes globally – faster and more effectively. “Social media tools are the “new age activists” handiest tools.”

What are the recent examples?

Twitter and Facebook were leveraged to effectively raise money for Haiti;

Social media tools and their philanthropic impact;

Using the power of Twitter to raise money for the fight against cancer.

Watch Michael Teoh’s video from the One Young World Forum and prepare to be inspired!
