On the 23rd of April 2010 the INCLUSO group, armed with flipchart paper and markers, marched to the Krakow city centre to invite people to a drawing-guessing game. This action was much more interactive than the previous one. The participants had to not only perform, but also interact with other people and attract them to the game. They felt a little nervous, but the event turned out to be a success. The group managed to involve even foreign turists! The action was, again, planned and prepared 100% online, on the Ning platform.

Already in 2008 and 2009 youth centres in Vienna started to use „Netlog“, a the social networking platform to stay in contact with their youngsters, by mid 2009 20 out of 28 centres had their own Netlog accounts, including those 3 centres which are involved in “Incluso”. Since 2010 contact data is collected regularly.

On the 5th and 6th of February 2010 we organised a workshop for all the INCLUSO participants form Krakow and Chorzow. The goal of the meeting was to summarise all the activities realised within the pilot so far and to plan the future of the project. We have been experiencing some troubles to perform social events planned online, so we decided to move on and find some other ideas. After some brainstorming, we decided to go for:

The web address of the site we set up for the members of the Middlefield Youth Flat (MYF) is www.middlefieldyouthflat.ning.com, but it seems that was too long and may have put some young people off from engaging with the site.

Txt-spk, or text speak, is challenging the SHMU teams running Incluso pilots. We'd love it if the young people would write messages in English that's clear, spelled correctly and with impeccable grammar. It doesn't happen like that, though. Instead we get short messages like this one: kk u too ill fix it imrn or summin has any one got the m all yet That's more than 2 weeks old and we still haven't managed to translate it!

SHMU's Incluso assistant Irene Jimenez has been reflecting on age differences and engagement with the closed social network at one of SHMU's pilots. She finds that:

We mustn’t underestimate the influence of offline activity in our online researches as we try to engage young people using social software.   Engaging them with our research sites is an ongoing struggle. We try designing the appearance so that it looks appealing, try to include detail which reflects the flat, its activities and functions and engage them with video and photo uploads. The latest attempt to engage has been by a three-pronged approach: a competition, a poll and a discussion.
