Launched only in the English language in October last year, the programme now includes online courses on community management through Facebook Blueprint. The programme is also available in Arabic, French, German, Indonesian, Portuguese and Spanish.
“Giving people the power to build community is an important part of Facebook’s mission, and we hope the expansion of the programme will see more people have an opportunity to use the content and eventually earn a certificate,” said Grace Clapham, head of Facebook’s community partnerships.
The learning programme is designed to help community managers from agencies, brands, education sector and NGOs, to build grow and support their communities. The online courses cover topics such as:
Defining and establishing a community
Developing community strategies and processes
Making strategic content decisions for a community
Engaging and moderating a community
Measuring and analysing community success
