CP4: SUB-PROJECT COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES
A well organized and targeted communication activity respond to the need of
increasing transparency and awareness of the Zerotrade sub-project by:
- ensure the adequate presentation of the project, the programme and European
cooperation by creating awareness of the project activities and by disseminating its
results
- helping others to benefit from project’s activities, good practices and results achieved
- ensuring maximum benefit from the project by multiplying the effects of EU funding
The wide dissemination of the project progress and results to carefully targeted
stakeholders will considerably increase the chances of ZEROTRADE sub-project policy
recommendations further implementation.
Various Communication tools are indicated within the Annex II (Implementation plan)
and within the Communication Plan.
COMMUNICATION MATERIALS
A set of communication materials has to be produced to diffuse information about
the sub-project and its results and to communicate on the role of partners as well as on
the financial support of the European Commission and the INTERREG IVC
Programme and LoCaRE mini-programme to the sub-project’s activities:
•2 brochures translated in 5 languages:
- the 1st brochure at the sub-project launch, to introduce the sub-project, its objectives and
partnership
- the 2nd brochure, after the sub-project completion, to present the ZEROTRADE model and policy
recommendations.
•4 press releases will be launched to ensure wide dissemination and awareness of the
sub-project. Two English press releases version was already done by P1, one for
Retail Forum, one for the newsletter of the LoCaRe site visit.
•A final publication on sub-project results and outputs will be produced. It will be
distributed at the last workshop and through partners' networks.
COMMUNICATION MATERIALS
A programme of interregional workshops and dissemination events (total of 16)
will be delivered throughout the sub-project.
•4 interregional workshops will be organised by partners just before or after LoCaRe
conferences and site visits and will be used as a means to widely disseminate the subproject activities and outputs in Europe to other local and regional authorities that could
benefit from them. Representatives from European Institutions, Retail Forum, LoCaRe
Regions and other relevant projects will be invited to attend interregional workshops to
discuss with partners the sub-project results. This is a key element of the
communication strategy that will certainly ease reaching the sub-project objectives.
•At local level each partner will organise at least 4 dissemination activities to involve
citizens-consumers. These activities will be hosted in the sample retail outlets
implementing pilot actions with the aim of increasing citizens awareness of sustainable
behaviors to reduce CO2₂ emissions and of sustainable consumptions practices.
COMMUNICATION PLAN
The Project Communication Plan (PCP) is a strategic tool to raise awareness
about the project and to disseminate its results to external stakeholders and the
public to ensure efficient internal communication among sub-project partners (SPPs)
by identifying and defining:
•target audiences
•communication messages
•the means to be used and the actions to be taken
•the expected results, impacts and evaluation methods
The PCP also outlines the publicity methods and requirements to be followed by
participants in order to ensure visibility, transparency and better dissemination of
the project and its achievements in the respect of all applicable national and
European legislation.
COMMUNICATION PLAN
Sub-project communication plan is an ongoing and lively process. Partners are
therefore required to dedicate sufficient time and efforts to information and publicity
throughout the sub-project lifetime and beyond sub-project closure.
Also, for the same reasons, the sub-project Communication Plan will be kept
under review and updated as appropriate during the life of the sub-project.
Insufficient communication can lead to conflicts and problems. Too much or irrelevant
information may on the other hand confuse or lead to a drop of interest in sub-project
communication. It is therefore important to be clear about:
What needs to be communicated and to what level of detail?
Who needs to be informed?
When and how often they need to be informed?
How they should be informed?
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PARTNERS
The ZEROTRADE sub-project gathers 4 partners coming from 4 different EU Member
States for a period of 23 months. Therefore communication flows are important and
shall involve all partners in a concrete, clear and timely way.
Communication within the sub-project team helps:
- sharing information that partners need in order to work
- information about
to problems and successes;
together;
sub-project progress to identify and react
- information about decisions and changes within the sub-project and
externally to ensure all partners have the latest information
COMMUNICATION RULES

activities partners are demanded to:
1.use only recycled papers for forums and meetings;
