There are two sides to our groupthing offer - groupthing.org and groupthing professional.
groupthing.org is a safe, accessible social network for young people to have conversations with other young people about reading, writing and words and where they can publish their own creative work.
groupthing professional offers libraries, schools and other organisations working with young people offers:
* the opportunity to have conversations with other professionals to extend and develop their work
* resources, ideas, competitions, give-aways and promotions to help engage young people in creative reading activities
Over one-third of the UK library network are subscribers to groupthing.
You can use groupthing to create a digital presence for your short-term reading projects, like a book festival or poetry competition, and digital support for your ongoing work such as reading groups or manga, games or flim club as part of your extended schools' or youth activities.
groupthing provides the tools for your young people to engage with digital participation activities. It also provides local and national online volunteering opportunities that could be part of accredited award schemes.
groupthing.org's functionality includes the ability to:
* set up as many groups as you want
* run polls
* post events
* create a shelf of what you are reading, listening to and playing
* chat, rate and review
* add friends
* upload creative work in video, audio, text or image formats
