Earlier this summer, I had the huge privilege to visit Romania and help with the Local Philanthropy Workshop. The social impact landscape in Romania is complex and exciting – you can see struggle and hope, fear and enthusiasm mixed in every conversation and every presentation. The slides are below as well as some notes.

Last year, I had the unique privilege to help facilitate The Local Philanthropy Workshop with the TechSoup Romania team. The social media/technology landscape in Romania is very interesting – with a diverse set of issues, struggles and opportunities. Get data and information about the blogosphere from Technorati.

I am here in Romania for a conference hosted by the Soros Foundation as part of their pilot advocacy through blogging program. I just finished a presentation and later this afternoon will facilitate a workshop on strategy which will include the Romanian version of the Social Media Game. Niche content. Personality is important.

I also had the opportunity to facilitate a large group session about whether CEOs should use social media or not and attended a tweet up with David Meerman Scott. For example, I include information about Forrester's Social TechnoGraphics profiles as part of the social media game which is based on US data.
