Communication Matters II

Training Background: Dissemination and exploitation of results (DEOR) is one of the crucial areas of the Erasmus+ project lifecycle. In order to successfully disseminate and exploit project results, organisations involved in Erasmus+ projects are asked to plan effective communication activities when designing and implementing their project. The international training offers participants the opportunity to discover good practices in communication. It will bring together Erasmus+ Youth in Action beneficiaries to learn from practical exercises, to understand the overall communication process and develop competences, as well as to learn new communication tools in a creative and open setting. Aims & Objectives: • to explore various tools, ways, creative techniques useful for DEoR; • to help participants design communication and dissemination activities relevant to their projects, target groups, scope of activities; • to develop their knowledge and understanding necessary to implement communication and multiplication strategies efficiently; • to share good practices; • to provide opportunities, space and frames for participants to experiment on possible relevant tools and methods during the training; • to share new and innovative approaches, concepts and activities. Learning Outcomes: • Understanding the differences between dissemination, exploitation and visibility • Understanding strategic communication planning within a KA1 project cycle, • Becoming aware of good practices and methodologies in communication of project activities and results, • Getting familiar with guidelines and tips on DEOR strategies, • Using resources on communication for self directed learning, • Discovering available social media tools.
