How to integrate your registration on ChangeX

How to integrate the registration on ChangeX in your own website

Here are a few examples:

EXAMPLE I - STREETFEAST

Street Feast is a yearly event when people across Ireland bring together their neighbours to share a meal and spend an afternoon together.

Streetfeast integrate direct links to ChangeX for people who want to host or join a Street Feast.

The links are on an extra page where they explain a bit more about how the two organisations work together.

You get to this page through a link „

host a feast

“ in a homepage teaser and in the top navigation.

The „HOST A FEAST“-link leads Street Feasters right to the registration on

www.changeX.org/

streetfeast/start

where people will be asked to sign up/in and immediately enter the registration

process for a Streetfeast.

The best way of integrating ChangeX with your own processes and website depends on your specific needs and the functionality and structure of your website.
Most of our idea partners just add a link to their website that leads people, who are interested in starting a new group/chapter/event etc. right to the registration on ChangeX. Some also link to the location overview for people who might want to join a chapter instead of building a location search themselves.

The links to ChangeX are usually embedded on a separate page, that explains to people how to get involved in the initiative.

The „GO TO ONE“ link leads people to the locations page on ChangeX that lists all the public

registered Feasts:

www.changeX.org/streetfeast/locations

The two links are image

les. But if your website allows to create buttons, that would be the

perfect link option.

EXAMPLE II - GIY, GROW IT YOURSELF

GIY is an Irish social enterprise building a movement of food growers. They are o

ering people

plenty of ways to get involved but at the heart of the movement are local GIY groups that are run

by local leaders who want to create support structures and local hubs where food growers of a

community share their knowledge and start food-growing projects together. As their own website

is focussing on many other initiatives they decided to host their GIY group communities on

ChangeX.

Within the navigation point „

Get involved

“ GIY o

ers many ways to join the movement. One

teaser titled „Start Or Join A GIY Group“ leads directly to the GIY page on ChangeX.

https://www.changex.org/ie/giy

GIY also integrated the ChangeX logo to make it more transparent that they host their online-

communities on ChangeX.

GIY also run a yearly fund in cooperation with Energia called „Energia Get Ireland growing fund“.

One condition for applying, is registering a new GIY group. Within the fund application form they

also link to the ChangeX registration.

EXAMPLE III - PLASTIC FREE 4 SCHOOLS

Plastic Free 4 Schools is one of many community-based programmes that the social enterprise

„Change by Degrees“ is o

ering for people to get involved in. Change by Degrees is doing a lot of

work on raising awareness and giving practical guidance on reducing our carbon footprint on the

individual but also the community level. They only have a minimal amount of information on their

own website about the school programme and use their ChangeX page as the main landing page

for the idea.

The headline „ SIGN UP FOR PLASTIC

FREE 4 SCHOOLS“ and the bottom link lead directly to the Plastic Free 4 Schools page on

ChangeX on

www.changex.org/plasticfree4schools
