The Blandin Foundation and E-Democracy.Org have partnered to offer "Minnesota Voices Online," an online forum for Minnesotans using new media technologies to build community – particularly across Greater Minnesota.

Are you telling local stories through new medias or using e-tools to engage your local community? If so, this is our space to share advice, tips, tools and compare notes.
"Whether it be through a blog, online forum, or a wiki, using audio, text, photos, video or mapping, more rural Minnesotans are using the Internet to tell the stories of their communities, their communities of interest or of Minnesota itself," said Bernadine Joselyn, director of public policy at the Blandin Foundation. "Minnesota Voices Online is a space for these Internet age communicators to connect to each other, share lessons, ask questions and talk about the topics that most interest them".
The issues raised and topics discussed on Minnesota Voices Online will inform the planning of a Minnesota Rural Voices Unconference, scheduled for April 2009. An "Unconference" is a facilitated, participant-driven conference centered around a theme or purpose. The theme of the April 2009 unconference is Minnesota Voices Online Unconference: Connecting rural Minnesotans with new media so every place can share its voice in the Internet age.
