SCENARIO WORKSHOP
http://mappingonlinepublics.net/
Managing a Community
o Scenario workshop:o You run the Facebook page for the Brissie Bike Hubbb – a local
community of bicycling enthusiasts. You keep getting a few disruptions, though: o activists who want to lobby the Lord Mayor to include helmets with
the urban rental bikes; o extreme bikers who posts photos of themselves doing crazy and
dangerous stunts; o motorists who drop by and abuse the community.
What do you do? How do you deal with these disruptions (pick any one, or – for the adventurous – try to solve them all)?
o Hint: perhaps you need a mission statement:Are you an activist group? A family organisation?
