Everyone has something to say - about where they live, what they're experiencing, and what they want to see happen. Our Community Reporters’ programme gives people a platform to tell these stories online.
We work with individuals from all kinds of communities to give them a voice and build their confidence in the use of social media tools.
Reporters learn how to produce content with new social media such as blogs, podcasts, films and wikis, and use everything from mobile phones to video cameras and webcams. Stories are distributed through our online networks, meaning that those voices can be heard by anyone online.
Community reporters can be local active individuals or participants in our training programmes.

That’s the question posed by Julie Delvaux over at her Notebooks - Los Cuadernos de Julia blog. A year or two ago there were semi-regular events organised by and for Manchester’s blogging community - but in 2008 not even a quiet pint in a dingy pub (the Castle has...

It’s been a while since I last wrote about cycling but the Salford Folding Bike Race, which takes place on Saturday 30 August as part of the Salford Nocturne, is well worth a mention.
The competitors, dressed in business attire, will wait 10 metres away from their folded bikes....

Back to the theatre and this time the Library Theatre plays host to Les Puddings Noir, a ’slice of hilarious social satire’ following MaD Theatre’s 2006 sell-out Asbo and last year’s She’s Just Nipped Out For Fags.
The synopsis sounds entertaining:
In a bid to become Europe’s Capital of...

Mancubist is pretty music-centric at the moment, which I’ll aim to address in the coming weeks, but in the meantime here are a couple more events that I’d recommend this weekend:
Saturday night welcomes this month’s instalment of Helen Of Troy Does Countertop Dancing - or HOTDCD, to shave off...

The Royal Exchange Theatre has been running a nice little alternative to the standard Friday night post-work pub visit for a while now. They’ve been putting on free, wide-ranging showcases in their bar - from jazz to comedy to ‘poetry bingo’ to cookery lessons.
This Friday is the penultimate SFX...
