The event allows people will find out more about BBC The Social, how to apply to work with them, as well as some tips about making good social media content.

They are currently seeking six young creators from across Scotland (18+) to make content with them, with opportunities to collaborate with other parts of BBC Scotland such as Sport, News, and Radio. 

Previous contributors for The Social have gone on to present on the BBC Scotland channel in shows such as Eat the Town and Roaming in the Wild, and to have their content published on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds.
