NEW COMMUNICATION AND DISSEMINATION STRATEGY
A new communication and dissemination strategy including social media has been designed and is being tested by the board. Together with the new web-site, the new communication and dissemination channels will enable a more dynamic way for the Board to release information that it is relevant to the network, and equally interesting, it will also allow all member institutions to share news, forthcoming events and any relevant information about conservation-restoration education. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter accounts have been set and will be managed by a Community Manager.
