Signs of Cohesion Policy in Cyprus, Bulgaria, and Romania

ongoing

Our project aims to raise awareness in three different Member States (i.e. Cyprus, Bulgaria and Romania) about Cohesion Policy and its funds as well as projects funded in the countries involved and the impact that such projects had on the improvement of citizens' everyday lives. Alongside, the project team aspires to inform people about the fact that Cohesion Policy contributes to the promotion of a more inclusive, sustainable, green, connected and closer to the citizens European Union. Additionally, during the project implementation, a set of activities to be implemented aim to bring together not only relevant stakeholders at local, regional, national and EU levels but also academia, businesses and citizens to discuss about the Cohesion Policy's future. To this end, a comprehensive awareness raising campaign will be implemented through the use of new and traditional media as well as the organisation of a set of different events. Thus, throughout the project lifespan, various content will be produced and distributed such as: a web-tv show, online publications, posters, and social media posts. The goal of the campaign will be to inform people about Cohesion Policy's crucial role in the improvement of EU citizens lives without leaving anyone and any region behind. Additionally, a series of events (i.e. focus groups, open discussions) will be implemented in order for the project to engage with both relevant stakeholders and people and make them participate in a discussion on Cohesion Policy and its future. Last but not least, the Cohesion Policy will be promoted through gamified experiences.
