Social Media
For Winning Political Campaigns
OVERVIEW:
The training workshop focuses on getting the best results in the strategic management
of cyber social environments that, in reality, are part of the day to day society of our
countries by providing spaces for review and citizen participation.
The content of the workshop is aimed at understanding how social groups are
structured and their direct influence on democratic states through the use of digital
tools. For this, the concept of Social Policy and Cyber politics will be shared to show
how citizens use social networks to communicate with authority, social metrics,
modelled predictions, political actors, cyber media, trans media storytelling and the
social war room.

In this way, programme participants will be provided with a range of practical
methodologies that will enable them to operationalise strategies for a political
campaign; developing a highly cohesive structure that is of value to the electorate.
TARGET GROUP:
This training programme is directed primarily to the regional political areas of influence,
distinguishing three profiles more specifically:
A profile associated with the government, where all individuals are representatives and
stakeholders of the institutions or government agencies, civil society, NGOs and
foundations, requires training in strategic issues of communication in cyber social
media, as their function of planning and decision-making requires additional and
updated knowledge of reality to build relational bridges with their constituents.
A profile within movements and / or political parties, which are those advisors, political
or campaign managers and their consequent team who see the need to improve their
communication and strategic work and take it to another level of development and
applicability where new strategic models are part of the objectives and course of their
results.
