Contemplating making the leap to Bluesky? Secured your handle but staying quiet? Started posting but not seeing growth? Regardless of where you are in your Bluesky journey, this is a great opportunity to hear from someone who’s recently been in your shoes.
For our May event, we’ll be hearing from Justin Parke, Industrial History Curator at North Lanarkshire Council. Justin is one of the contributors to the NorthLan Heritage Bluesky account, which already has over 4,000 followers.
Justin will provide a brief introduction to Bluesky and discuss their reasons for opening an account. He’ll also cover what’s worked and what hasn’t since they started posting three months ago and offer actionable tips for increasing your follower and engagement numbers on the platform.
This online event will conclude with a Q&A session.
WHEN: Thu, 1 May 2025 15:00 – 16:00 BST

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.”
