Let’s be honest. Most Interreg programmes are on social media, but we’re not using it as well as we could.
We often post like we write for our websites: long texts, few visuals, and boring photos from our meetings. Even when we do create beautiful videos or great content, we rarely support it with even the smallest amount of paid promotion. The result? Our work disappears into the void. Hardly anyone sees it, let alone engages with it.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Social media can work for Interreg. With the right mindset and a few smart tactics, we can reach thousands, even millions, of people. And we don’t need big budgets or large teams to do it.
This certified course will show you how.
