EMSP akce pro mladé pacienty do 35 let

Dear all,

I am very happy to be sharing with you the next YPN Capacity Building
opportunity! We are partnering up with The Good Lobby [1] to deliver a
series of training sessions on Social Media for Change. We, as (future)
MS youth advocates, use social media to spread our message towards
effectively. Hence, going forward, EMSP wants to equip you with the
necessary skills needed to use various social media platforms and tools
in a meaningful and responsible way to promote public health concerns.

The training

The workshops, tailored to EMSP’s needs and based on TGL’s expertise
in using social media for change, aim to give participants a broad
overview of the tips and tools available to young patient advocates to
make the most out of social media to achieve broader impact.

The first workshop will draw from TGL’s booklet Social Media for
Change: providing an overview of the different types of platforms
available and their intended use as well as how to create appropriate
content for each platform (going from posts, reels and video, to
branding). This session aims to provide new advocates with a solid
foundation for their work, as well as to act as a “refresher course”
for more seasoned media professionals and remain insightful for all
levels through innovative tips, real-life examples, and interactive
exercises.

The second workshop will dive into another level of practical tools and
tips and will be more focused on campaigns, building on the skills from
the first session using relevant, real-life case studies as well as
TGL’s methodology and expertise. Participants will leave feeling
inspired and equipped to launch or grow their own social media work.

The third workshop will focus on putting things into action, where the
group will launch their own online campaign.

The timing

The training will take place on:

    * Thursday, 15 December 2022 from 17.00- 18.30 CET
    * Thursday, 19 January 2023 from 17.00- 18.30 CET
    * Thursday, 16 February 2023 from 17.00- 18.30 CET
