ECDay 2013 Uniqueness • Local actions and European media event, together, make up European Cooperation Day • What makes local actions part of one single umbrella event? They share: • A common, broad concept; • A common, broadly-defined target; • A common brand and visual identity; • Common dissemination tools.
ECDay 2013 strategic features • Goals: To improve the visibility of cross border and territorial cooperation; to disseminate its outcomes; to show its impacts on quality of life. • Important enough to attract media: All events are on the same days, in all of the areas of the participating programmes. • Innovative enough to attract citizens. • Local approach proves relevance of cross border and territorial cooperation: Local success stories in the corresponding local languages, and local spokespeople

ECDay social media campaign • Dissemination of information • Live coverage of local activities • Facebook photo albums • Twitter for target groups • YouTube for videos on territorial cooperation • RSS for pushing notifications • Information sharing
ECDay local events Keep in mind the Goal: to raise awareness for territorial cooperation within the population and to attract media interest! • There is no compulsory type of local action. • Combine several types of actions and events into one. • Join forces: cooperate with other projects and organise a joint action or the same type of action in different places. • European Cooperation Day can also be organised within the framework of a larger (e.g. national) event, in order to draw even more media attention.
ECDay local events What benefits are there for your projects? • Added value and increased visibility • Networking with other projects • Opportunity for flagship story projects to increase impact • Improved communication flows
ECDay local events Where: Local actions can be held in one or several place(s) of the programme area – select a place that best represents the programme area • the border (land or sea border), • a bridge, • a cross-border conurbation, • the highest mountain in the transnational area, • the central point of the transnational area (it could even be a small village), • a place which has benefitted from programme support (cross-border business park, natural park, university, etc.).
