The volunteers will support the programme in reaching these priorities through communication activities, carrying out mainly two strands of tasks:
From this year onwards, we are expanding our content planning/calendar and pouring it into sections such as ‘project highlighted’ (interview), ‘behind the scenes’, ‘did you know’ (infographic), testimonials (project partner, residents or other target groups that experience the impact of the project), interactive polls, information about guides and/or regulations, etc. With this the volunteer(s) can make a substantial contribution to bring projects to the attention through our website and social media channels by fully playing out the role as an Interreg reporter through articles, interviews, videos, photo reports, blogs…
Concrete tasks:
– coming up with substantive input for the calendar (by, among other things, questioning the project advisors) and checking with the communications advisor
– contacting, informing and making agreements with involved project partners for conducting interviews, articles, making videos, etc.
– go on site and ensure that the interview can be conducted and that photos are taken (everything that is needed to achieve a nice result)
– writing and/or editing and making the item suitable for website and social media
– active contribution to the newsletter (and possible full ‘take over’ is negotiable!)
– you will also participate in the daily operation of the secretariat and attend our weekly meetings
• Interreg VI: analyse & report >>> public consultation
The European Commission’s Directorate General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO) launched a consultation process to gather opinions/comments/suggestions as to what shape Interreg should take after 2027. DG REGIO encourages Interreg programmes to run a wider stakeholders’ consultation – e.g. local communities, (potential) beneficiaries, citizens – as they best know their constituency and already have some experience in this respect (e.g. consultations to prepare the 2014-2020 Interreg).
As an Interreg programme, we also foresee a consultation in 2024. The volunteer(s) can play an important role in this when it comes to questioning citizens in our border region. We are currently brainstorming about an efficient approach, but if we find candidates quickly, we are happy to involve them in the entire thought process. In addition, we see the volunteer(s) as best suited to conduct research, collect and analyse data and work with us on the final harvesting report.
Concrete tasks:
– active contribution to shaping the survey among citizens (action plan, communicative framework, practical elaboration, etc.)
– you will receive a short training from one of our colleagues so that you can anticipate certain situations during the surveys
– go out and question citizens at strategic places (together with another volunteer or colleague)
– during the consultations: occasionally take some photos and film (we provide an enthusiastic ‘promo video’ about the consultation of citizens during the process)
– analysing the collected information and providing feedback to the colleagues involved
