Training: Introduction to Slack

If there’s one thing we’ve learnt over the past year it’s that the internet is an amazing tool that keeps us connected, and we should use it! 

With the 50 of our ACF community groups spread far and wide across the country, Slack is what we use to bridge these gaps in space and time and all remain engaged in our united fight for action on nature and climate. 

That's why we are inviting you to join our training session on how to use the basics of Slack to strengthen your community group.

Slack is an online application that allows ACF community group members, fellows and staff to talk in real time. Whether it be inviting others to an event, sharing good news about a recent win, recommending a documentary or book or simply asking a question - Slack keeps you connected and up to date with your group, ACF as an organisation and the broader movement. 

This training will cover the following:

Starting with Slack

• Downloading, installing and logging into Slack
• Workspace
• Permission level, naming conventions

 Slack features

• How we communicate: Channels, Direct Message (DM), Threads and Mentions

We will also give a live demonstration of how to use Slack and allow you to have a go as well! 

Who is this training for?

• Those who haven't used Slack at all and would like to start using it. 
• Those who have used Slack but need a refresher. 

After you have registered for the training, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the Zoom meeting.
