Active work will begin in November and will last until January 18, 2010.
Work topic: mobilizing Ukrainian Internet users to participate in the election process.
Campaign volunteers will moderate thematic groups in social networks, communicate with group participants, maintain their own blogs and microblogs in which they will cover the course of the campaign, describe its stages and share their own impressions. Also, project volunteers will have the opportunity to take part in a Mini Barcamp on the topic "The Role of Internet Technology during the 2010 Presidential Election Campaign."
On October 17, the first training for campaign volunteers on the specifics and principles of working in new media will be held in Kyiv. The one-day training is designed for both experienced users and network beginners.
