Methodology
The methodology is based on a combination of theoretical insights, successful case studies and hands-on practical sessions.
During the theoretical sessions, participants will explore audience engagement strategies, best practices in creating engaging content, and techniques to increase the organisation’s visibility by exploiting the mechanisms of social algorithms. Proven methods and practical tips on how to adapt social platforms to the specific communication and dissemination needs of the non-profit organisation will be shared.
Practical exercises will be a crucial element of the course. Participants will have the opportunity to directly apply the concepts learnt by creating posts for different social platforms, planning a content strategy and analysing metrics to assess the effectiveness of their initiatives.
In addition, we will foster interaction and exchange of ideas among participants, encouraging discussion on common challenges and innovative solutions.
