ELF Liberal Communicators Network – Youth Edition
Registrations are now closed for this event!
This event is set to take place Online between 18-19 June 2021.
This event is organised exclusively for young liberals working with communications in a member organisation of LYMEC or ELF. In order to strengthen these liberal organisations, the participants will receive professional training, learn from each other by exchanging best practices, and create a network for future cooperation and peer support.
We would like to support young liberal communicators in developing their skills, capabilities and network. Ensure that despite limited access to skills, human and financial resources or sufficient training – they get the chance to improve themselves and their organisations.
This event aims to especially focus on those member organisations that are in the most need of professional training and peer support. Member organisations that struggle with communications in one way or another will be taken into special consideration when selecting the participants for the event.
This ELF event is supported by LYMEC – European Liberal Youth and our partners the Danish Liberal Democracy Programme (DLDP) and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF).
The main objectives:
- Provide participants with concrete tools and skills
- Participants to act as multipliers in their organisations
- Strengthen communication strategies
- Create a European Network of liberal communicators for peer support, networking and discussions
