📖 Community Training: August 2025 - Driving Community Engagement through Storytelling 📖

16 July 2025

We are delighted to announce our next community Training session for 2025. Bringing you expert Social Pinpoint training for all your users, this initiative lets you send your users along to monthly, online training sessions to learn everything from the platform fundamentals to advanced thought leadership in digital engagement directly from our experts.

Each session is designed with you, community engagement professionals, to address a specific topic of interest, to ensure you're gaining valuable and focused insights.

Training is open and exclusive to Premium and Enterprise customers and is free of charge.


This training session was held on Wednesday 20th August

Thankyou to all those who attended

In this interactive session, we showed you how to spark meaningful dialogue and increase participation using Social Pinpoint’s storytelling tools — Gather and Visioner. Participants learned how to set up, manage, and optimise your engagement projects to encourage your community to share their stories and perspectives.

Whether you’re launching a new initiative or looking to deepen existing engagement, this training demonstrated:

  • How to build more relatable, people-first projects
  • How to leverage the Gather and Visioner tools to create immersive experiences
  • Why storytelling matters in engagement – Explore research on how narratives influence public perception, build trust, and increase participation.
  • Ways of measuring impact through narrative data – Understand how to analyse qualitative insights from stories and translate them into actionable strategies.

Online engagement can get complicated, especially when it involves coordinating lots of people in your organisation. Training new staff on your engagement platform can feel like a full-time job in its own right.

To alleviate some of this pressure, this training program aims to support our customer's internal teams to learn Social Pinpoint. This program allows you to learn new skills and build on their community and stakeholder consultation expertise to improve their outcomes!

The program aims to make it easier for administrators to manage the growing complexity and demand for digital engagement while still providing consistent, high-quality training directly from our product specialists.

Since June 2021, we've hosted regular monthly training sessions on Social Pinpoint, opening the doors to everyone in your organisation. That's right; there are no limits to how many sessions you can attend or even how many users you can send along (subject to session limits).

Each year from February to November (10 online sessions per year), our monthly sessions provide multi-disciplinary training across a broad range of topics and digital applications so your teams can learn the front and back-end of the platform, while expanding their expertise with best practice and thought leadership. Session times will vary each month to account for users in different time zones.

The best part is that the training is free for all Premium and Enterprise subscribers*.

If you're not yet a Premium Subscriber, discuss with your CSM about purchasing a Season Pass separately from your subscription or attend individual sessions at a per session rate.

We appreciate all of your feedback as we continue to build upon and refine our training program into the future.

If you are a Premium or Enterprise subscriber you can request access to the recording of this session along with a copy of the slides. You can get in contact with:
