Going viral

going viral can do wonders for an campaign

Getting the word out online takes more than a strong campaign. It means creating something entertaining, catchy, relatable and succinct. Going viral means that a video, a recording, a blog, a hashtag, a facebook group or an image has become so popular online that it enters the everyday conscientiousness of the masses. For example, videos of demonstrators holding flash mobs can go viral and be reported on by news outlets. Not only does a video like that show that a lot of people are active and interested in the issue, it's entertaining. This guide will cover:

Making art that makes change

Evan Tapper spends 90 minutes every week hanging out with a group of children and teens in Toronto. It's vital time spent at a place the kids would probably rather not be.

"We do flip books, we do drawings, we've done casting with plaster and mono-printing on glass plates. We did a different type of sculpture with tape and wire," recalls the Winnipeg born-and-raised multimedia artist.

"I don't give much direction and they usually just talk and work."

This is no ordinary after-school program. Tapper volunteers at the Redwood Women's Shelter in downtown Toronto -- something he's done since 2005. In the summer of 2008, he also ran a children's book club there.

The art club began in 2008.
