In March 2011 the NANM was named as the UK partner for the EU Media4Me project. Together, p
artners from across Europe, are running a programme supporting neighbourhoods with high levels of ethnic diversity to use social media to improve communication between communities and with local public sector bodies.
About Media4ME
Media4ME is a project funded by the European Union, and led in the UK by the National Association for Neighbourhood Management and Social Reporter. It will be supported throughout 2012. The neighbourhoods team at Milton Keynes Borough Council have agreed to be the local partner and the focus of activity is in the Fishermead neighbourhood.
The International Media4ME project is about:
- Supporting local people who are using media for the benefit of the community
- Helping people learn new skills around media and communication
- Enabling public agencies and community organisations improve communications too
