Some lessons learned • Feeding into existing social media channels works in terms of enabling the HER to have a presence without the commitment of having to find regular content. It has given us the opportunity to build our presence gradually and therefore not be overwhelmed by the need to respond to hundreds of enquiries, or to simply lose followers by not providing content. • Content should always be illustrated by a photograph where possible. Our Facebook figures have shown that approximately double the number of people engage with content when there is an illustration. • Social media works as a tool for engaging young people, but also connects with new audiences, not previously engaged by the HER • The use of social media channels can generate or link to useful new sources of information which can be fed into the HER • There is a wide variety of social media applications out there – the key is to find the ones most relevant to your use and not to take on too much.

Next steps • Worcester City HER Twitter account  @WorCityHeritage • Incorporate Social Media into upcoming  engagement projects • A new Social Media & Young People  policy • Next WYAC event in March will be looking  at History Pin!
