Socialter is a French association that promotes efficient use of social media by changemakers.

What?

Founded in 2009 by three French students, the association is completing a world tour of changemakers (Social Business, NGOs, associations, local initiatives). The purpose of this world tour is a study of (i) best practices and (ii) the needs of changemakers regarding their use of social media.

Why?

The purpose is to allow greater dissemination of social innovations (the “good ideas”) in order to ensure that these good ideas are reproduced.

What good ideas?

We are interested in social entrepreneurship (read more), more specifically in organizations that

1. have a positive social impact
2. are innovative
3. are seeking self-financing

How?

To achieve this goal, Socialter has a double strategy: to inform and to educate. Broadcast innovations of changemakers trough social media and enable changemakers to communicate on what they do using social media.

* Inform

This blog aims to broadcast good ideas identified around the world thanks to articles, interviews, video (Socialter TV) and pics.

* Training

Socialters.org is a platform providing tips and tools for a better use of social media.

Why this name?

Social refers to “social media” (twitter, facebook, blogs, youtube …).

Alter: other

Socialter: for another use of social media. Social media can be used to broadcast good ideas and good practices.
