CMA Strategy July 2020

Point for discussion at next meeting: social media for city chapters? and email alias? --> using a europemustact email (in mine and other chapter experiences seems to come across as spam) leading to no response

Feedback from UK FP meeting: Consensus was pro another Action Day. This will help to motivate city chapters by giving them something to work towards, and continue to raise the profile of city chapters in order to build local support. But - with adequate time and preparation.

Do you think you /the Networking team could do this? @Matthias @Kirsty Evans @Gianna specifically asking them about setting up City Chapters? Perhaps you could draft a joint email together (Matthias?)

We have strong connections to MitOst – a cultural network in Eastern Europe, which I could ask for help/connections. Further our proposal at the Civic Europe Fund was strongly supported by groups from Eastern Europe. Could be worth reaching out to them and asking for help?

Suggestions/Action Points from previous meeting:

-         Proactively look for people/organisations who can start local Chapters in Eastern Europe, Scandinavian countries

-         Eastern Europe: We have 1 contact in Serbia who says could translate. Perhaps Social Media team could do a post in Serbian?

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED to support outreach in these countries specifically advertising to set up a local Chapter!

Suggestions/Action Points from previous meeting:

-         Make a list of community groups which could be used by each Chapter to reach out online – support chapters in getting these. (Done!)

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED to follow up with each Chapter to make sure they have used this list!

Suggestions/Action Points from previous meeting:

-         Support: buddying (all chapters)/mentors team (established with less established)

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED to set this up!

Input from Alina from Seebrücke:
"It was always a struggle to get people involved in multiple levels. Regional get-together dropped out the easiest."

Suggestions/Action Points from previous meeting:

-         Advocacy team with 1 from each country to plan/support each other

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED to set this up/encourage Chapter members to join!

Thank you SO much for this 💕
