\"image<\/a>IHBC NewsBlogs since the 2018 Annual School in Belfast have offered occasional recaps on sessions and reflections on learning and development opportunities around the School theme of \u2018Our Shared Heritage\u2019, while now the Social Media lead for the IHBC at the School, Alison McCandlish of Crenellated Arts \u2013 an IHBC HEPSR<\/a> recognised business \u2013 outlines the outcomes.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Alison McCandlish<\/u> said: \u2018Thank you again to everyone who took part in the IHBC Annual School in Belfast, and helped to \u2018share our heritage\u2019 through digital storytelling.<\/p>\n

\u2018And why not continue creating and curating your own positive professional social media footprint by sharing your own photos and stories from the School on Twitter, or with the IHBC LinkedIn Group<\/a>?\u00a0 Sharing IHBC content on your own networks will help increase awareness of the activities of the Institute and its members too, so please do play your part in helping us get the conservation message out there!\u2019<\/p>\n

The Background
\n<\/strong>If you were at the School you may have noticed that one of our speakers was filming and recording between sessions, and also managing the social media for the School.\u00a0 IHBC HESPR member and Day School speaker, Alison McCandlish supported our internal team as a lead consultant in the area \u2013 working alongside our volunteers and membership network \u2013 to help offer those not able to attend the best, alternative and shared access to IHBC Belfast 2018<\/a>.\u00a0 Alison monitored the digital output of the school, helping curate and create content on @<\/span>IHBCtweet<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and posts on the school hashtag #IHBCBelfast2018, as well as related posts on the #EYCH2018 and #EuropeForCulture which are relevant European campaigns on sharing cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

Alison recorded a series of YouTube videos<\/a> at the Belfast School, and a taster promotion for the Nottingham 2019 Annual School.\u00a0 In the spirit of widening access and helping spread the message of the conference all of the YouTube videos have CC subtitles, which helps those who use accessibility tools and also those who watch videos on silent when they are on the move or in the office without headphones!<\/p>\n

Several volunteers gave interviews at the school reflecting on their experience, and these are available on Soundcloud<\/a> as a playlist.<\/p>\n

Those of you who are long-term readers of the IHBC NewsBlogs may recall that at some events we have produced an accessible version of the social media activity of the day.\u00a0 At the Belfast school we have used a tool called \u2018Wakelet\u2019 which is commonly used by events organisers to capture digital discussions.\u00a0 No logins are needed to access this feed and there are Wakelets for each part of the school:<\/p>\n
