Moreover, on the last day of the Social Communication Forum 2.0 that took place in Athens, we organised a public event. We presented the different outputs produced after many hours shared among organizations that are active in the social field, coming from different parts of Europe.Everyone put forward proposals, suggested good practices and highlighted effective methods of communication. All this has led us to focus on methods that allow a message to reach a wide audience, so as to enhance the impact of social actions. At Impact Hub Athens, we presented the short videos generated by intense debates on the different perceptions of the same social phenomenon between countries. Our goal was to ease the work of the communicators, who are grappling with the challenge of distributing more and more attractive contents.
