IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR YOU?

This workshop is for you/your colleagues if you’re looking to improve your organisation’s presence on social media. Together we will:
-    Explore how to build a successful social media strategy to support your consumer campaigns and raise brand awareness of your organisation and services.
-    Learn about different social media platforms and how to reach different target audiences.
-    Explore impactful ways of messaging through writing with trends, contrasts, and comparisons.
-    Learn about how to use different content types (video, audio, images) for online platforms.

WHERE & WHEN WILL THE WORKSHOP TAKE PLACE?

It will take place online, on Zoom.
The workshop will consist of three online sessions:
Friday 9 June 09:30 - 13:00
Monday 12 June 09:30 - 13:00
Wednesday 14 June 09:30 - 13:00

WHAT TO EXPECT?

The course will be delivered using a variety of input methods, including guest expert speakers and trainers delivering interactive presentations and exercises and facilitating exchanges of best practice and networking. Each session will have informal networking moments and opportunities for you to share your own case studies or questions and challenges.

WHO CAN APPLY?

The training is open to staff or volunteers working for a consumer organisation, national authority or European Consumer Centre (ECC) in the EU, Norway and Iceland. It is an ideal training for staff and organisations who have basic experience with social media and wish to explore its different uses.

IS THERE A FEE?

No, the workshop is free to attend.

PLEASE CONSIDER BEFORE APPLYING: Whilst the workshop is part of an EU-funded capacity building project, the training is similar in quality and value to other trainings available on the market. Moreover, the workshop has been designed in a way that each day’s session will set you up for the next day and will include several follow-on style exercises with other group participants. Therefore, for you and your peers to get the most out of the workshop, please only apply if you can attend the ENTIRE event and please make sure to already pencil the dates in your agenda.
We really look forward to receiving your application!

HOW CAN I APPLY?

Please complete this short application form by Friday 28 April 2023.
As places are limited to 30, a selection process may take place to ensure a balance of profiles, seniority, and geography. Your application will remain a key determinant in this process.  

You will receive an email informing you of your selection, within 2 weeks of the close of the application process.  In the meantime, we kindly advise to pencil the dates of the online session in your agenda.
