Guide to Content Creation Team

If you’ve recently joined ALSA UK you are probably a member of the content creation team. Almost every single volunteer has been a part of this team at some point, and many still are! 

 

Here is a quick guide to the team, but if  you have any questions you can always message Megi and Heidi- Your lovely  team leads. 

 

The content creation team meets every month. Heidi will send a poll that the team will have to vote on…make sure you vote before the deadline! 

 

Once a date and time is set the team will meet, when it’s time for the meeting simply open the slack app and a notification will appear encouraging you to join the meeting. 

 

During the meeting Heidi will review all the content everyone said they would complete at the last meeting and allocate the upcoming tasks to all the volunteers. Come with ideas as this meeting is a great opportunity to brainstorm content ideas! 

​

'Content' can be an instagram post, linkedIn post, blog post, PDF for the website...as long as it meets the ALSA UK aims. Take a look at our socials to get an idea of what your next post could be. 

 

After the meeting everyone will go ahead and start making their content. If its a post you are making, when your post is done put it in the 'Ready To Be Checked' folder on canva and drop a message in the content creation channel to let your leads know. 

 

You should aim to complete your task within 3 weeks, but if you need more time just let Heidi know when you expect your task to be done. 

 

Why am I in the content creation team?

 

All new volunteers are asked to spend around 3-6 months in the content creation team. This is because this is the most important team within ALSA UK - regardless of how amazing our events are, no one will know about them if our outreach isn’t on point! 

​

Furthermore by spending time in the content creation team you will learn about the ALSA UK culture and rest of the team. If you are interested in getting involved in other activities within ALSA UK or even setting up your own project, these six months are your opportunity to show you are reliable and dependable.

​

What if I'm not confident in using Canva?

​

Message Ardit Konjuhi on Slack, he will organise a training session for you. 

​

What if I have exams and can't work on anything this month?

​

You are allowed to take off as much time as you need from ALSA UK, just let Heidi and Arisa know, no questions asked. What we don't appreciate is people taking a break and ignoring messages without letting anyone know - it goes against our code of conduct.

​

Who's Who in the Content Creation Team?

​

The content creation team contains several

volunteers who are free to create any

content they like (as long as it fits within

ALSA UK aims). However there are some

individuals who have a set responsibility:

​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Questions about content should be

directed to Heidi, and questions about

the social media should be directed to

Megi and any questions about Canva

can be directed to Ardit. If you're ever

unsure, just message Arisa she will help or

direct you to the right person. (anyway

Heidi, Megi and Ardit work very closely together so all

three should be able to help with most things)
