Webinar: Building worker voices online – taster session
Dangerous far-right narratives are spreading faster than ever across social media. These are shaping opinions, sowing division and targeting workers and young people. Trade unionists know the challenge we face, and we know we need workers’ voices front and centre of the response.
In November, more than 500 union reps joined our webinar on making social videos to counter far-right narratives – showing the huge appetite across our movement to get involved and take action.
Launching the Workers Voice Network
To build on this momentum, we are launching the Workers Voice Network – a course that will train and support workers to safely create impactful digital content that challenges harmful and divisive narratives online.
The eight-week online programme combines expert-led skills development with ongoing support and mentoring throughout. Through a mix of one-hour workshops, creative tasks and mentoring, participants will learn how to create videos for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, how content spreads, and how to use trends, hooks and framing to communicate persuasively.
Sneak preview and influencer advice
We’re hosting a 60-minute taster webinar, giving you a sneak preview of the upcoming Workers Voice Network and featuring a content creator who’s successfully built real influence online by challenging harmful narratives. They’ll share their journey, tips, and honest insights on what works. You’ll get to ask them questions, as well as find out more from us about the Workers’ Voices Network.
In this taster session, you’ll:
- Understand why worker led videos are so important in pushing back on far-right narratives
- Get a broad overview of what makes particular videos so effective
- Hear from a content creator who has built their profile and makes genuinely impactful videos
- Have the chance to ask questions about the upcoming Workers Voice Network
We’re looking forward to seeing you in December!
