Last 28 and 29^th June, the Interreg Sudoe Programme organised - in cooperation with the Interreg MED Programme, a summercamp on lobbying, addressed to the approved projects of both programmes.

During two days, around sixty people from projects of both Interreg MED and Interreg Sudoe programmes met in Faro (PT) to be trained in communication and lobbying. The first morning focused on approved projects testimonies from both programmes in previous programming periods, invited due to their success stories regarding promotion at European and/or national levels. Likewise, participants could enjoy the experiences of LOCI IACOBI, MEDNICE, MEDCYCLETOUR and SUST FOREST. In the afternoon, participants attended workshops on storytelling and digital communication animated by Charlelie Jourdan and Kwinten Lambrecht who provided them with useful tools to create emotional narratives and use social media.

The following morning started with an interview with Arnold de Boer, lobbyist at UEAPME, and a master class on political influencing by Stephen Boucher. The event concluded with a joint pitching exercise which enabled participants to apply knowledge and recommendations acquired during the summercamp.

All the presentations, pictures and videos will be available here in the following days.

And in the meanwhile, keep lobbying!
