ERYICA, EYCA and Eurodesk organised a common training event for their members based on their needs in gaining skills and knowledge about different ways of reaching out to young people. The training took place on 25-29 November 2019 (3 full days) and addressed the needs of youth service structures in optimising the promotion and attractiveness of their services among young people and establishing efficient digital communication and outreach tools.
Participants were communication strategists, youth information workers, and professionals dealing with communication and marketing of youth services in the member organisations of the three networks. The programme included workshops on Artificial Intelligence and Fake News, Social Media Engagement, Digital Storytelling, Virtual Reality, and Communication Strategies, as well as the possibility for the participants to discuss and exchange on issues they face in their everyday work, and exchange best practices.
