There’s a lot of local government, Big Society and social media activity going on today.
Here at LGiU we are hosting the first of our series of sessions of the Big Society Learning Network. Speakers include:

Meanwhile, just around the corner, Hugh Flouch and Capital Ambition are hosting a day to launch their fascinating research paper Online Networked Neighbourhoods which looks at the effect that hyperlocal sites are having on community identity and social capital in and around London.
