Apply now for the LCN-Non-Profit Academy – empowering liberal communicators to adapt cutting-edge communication strategies, innovation, and marketing trends for the mission-driven sector.
The LCN-Non-Profit Academy will empower liberal communicators to adapt cutting-edge communication strategies, innovation, and marketing trends for the specific context of the mission-driven sector. By innovating non-profit communications, liberals will be better equipped to win the hearts and minds, influence shifts in values and behaviour, and achieve societal change for a forward-looking Europe.
LCN strives to develop a professional community of non-profit communicators from civil society organizations, foundations, think tanks, change-makers, working on liberal topics. Join the Academy to become a member of this European network of marketing professionals. This LCN Edition focuses on the liberal non-profit actors, not on political parties.
The Academy ‘Make a Good Message Better’ offers webinars with thought leaders, best-selling authors, world-class trainers, who will bring everybody on the ‘same page’ with the latest trends in non-profit brand management, communications strategy, digital and content marketing, hope-based communications in democracy promotion and human rights, messaging and more. The Academy is organised by the European Liberal Forum (ELF) with the support of Projekt: Polska and Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom for East and Southeast Europe (FNF ESEE) for a fourth year now. The Academy is part of an umbrella programme – the Liberal Communicators Network (LCN), between ELF Secretariat, Projekt: Polska, Friedrich Naumann Foundation (FNF ESEE) and European Liberal Youth (LYMEC).
