#ShareSavvy Saturday

The first #ShareSavvy Saturday was held at Battersea Park Children's Zoo as well as several other zoos across the UK.  Participants delivered on-site activities including workshops, educational stalls, poster walls and fundraising activities for charities who support species affected by social media. 

At Battersea there was an excellent public turn out, enabling many positive conversations to be had with visitors. All of the daily keeper talks involved a section about #ShareSavvy, and two extra, free educational workshops were held for visitors, specifically about how to navigate social media in a #ShareSavvy way. The zoo also raised money for Cikananga, an Indonesian charity working to rescue, rehab and release animals poached for the pet trade.
