[WP 12] Dissemination and Communication Strategy

The aims of this Work Package are to ensure communication on the project activities on the ongoing basis, to ensure dissemination of the project's results and findings to a wider audience, and to implement the dissemination and exploitation plan.

To ensure good communication on the network's activities, intermediate deliverables will be produced in all Work Packages, leading to final deliverables in a later phase in time. When intermediate deliverables are published on the website, we will ensure that the content is concise and will be a "stand alone" document at that point in time.

Technical and internal documents will be made available to all project partners on an online document system of the network on ELLA website.

The Polish Partner PSOUU Gdansk has the main responsibility for dissemination. The manager in charge of communication and dissemination will be appointed there and will be available during the whole period to work on all communication and dissemination activities. The time and knowledge available will ensure that communication and dissemination will be at the heart of the network.

After the mid-term review the dissemination plan will be developed and after it, there will be a strong focus on dissemination of experiences and good practices collected by the partners and lessons learnt from their local projects and policies. This will ensure the transfer of know-how build up in the network.

The aims of the package will be achieved by the following activities:

Activity 1. To regularly update the ELLA mini-site on the Grundtvig website.

Activity 2. To produce and currently update the ELLA website
