Want to know how to harness the power of social media to promote advocacy work?
For our March event, we’ll be hearing from Malini Chakrabarty, a freelance designer and Communications Lead at Built Environment Forum Scotland. With a passion for anti-racism and inclusivity, Malini’s comprehensive background spans public engagement, arts, human rights, media, and heritage.
Malini will discuss their experience using social media to advocate for causes within and outwith the heritage sector. They will offer tried-and-tested tips, share insights into what’s worked and what hasn’t, and discuss their approach to advocacy going forward in an ever-changing social media landscape.
This online event will conclude with a Q&A session.
WHEN: Thurs, 6 Mar 2025 15:00 – 16:00 GMT

SPECIAL THANKS
Thanks to our fantastic sponsor, we’re able to offer payment to all SHSMG speakers while keeping these events free for attendees:
“Whereverly create cultural and heritage tourism apps and websites.
We want tourists and locals to embrace local culture and heritage through music, song and stories, whilst discovering the hidden gems.
The Whereverly app and web platform makes creating a helpful tourism app easy. The content on Whereverly apps is produced for the most part by local communities, guides, heritage professionals, park rangers and local storytellers.
The Whereverly apps and website feature interactive maps, 3D maps, AR experiences, points of interests, favouriting and list building. As well as audio and non-audio walking, cycling, driving and rail tours. As well as music and stories delivered based on where the visitor is.
Example of our apps are Falkirk Explored, the North Coast 500, Scotland Starts Here, Explore Stirling, Highland Discovery and the Coig. We have developed supporting websites re-using the app content for the Coig and Scotland Starts Here. We are working on new heritage focussed projects which feature AR models, badge collecting and 3D maps.”
