Interested in learning how nonprofits are using virtual worlds? Head over to Second Life tomorrow—Thursday, Nov. 12—for a roundtable discussion sponsored by digital youth leaders Global Kids.
Global Kids, the New York City-based nonprofit organization, is hosting a Roundtable on Virtual Worlds and Nonprofits on Thursday, Nov. 12, from 12-1:30 p.m. PST. The roundtable will take place on MacArthur Island in Second Life. Here’s the teleport link.
From Holy Meatballs, the Global Kids’ blog:
“Representatives of five leading nonprofit organizations will give brief presentations on their initial explorations of Second Life and other virtual worlds, and how they are thinking of integrating these virtual tools into their organizations’ respective missions. Afterward, there will be an open discussion about the applications of virtual worlds for various public good purposes. The event will close with a casual mixer / dance party!”
Who would want to miss that?
The event will feature presentations by organizations who have recently completed the Global Kids’ Virtual World Capacity Building Program, a four-week intensive exposure to virtual worlds for nonprofits.
