Women and Political Influence 2017 part 1
Identifying the Concerns of the Electorate on the Local Level, Reaching out to Voters
28 February – 3 March, 2017 in Budapest, Hungary
A new series of courses is offered by the Robert Schuman Institute, in cooperation with the Christian Democratic International Center (KIC) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) entitled “Women and Political Influence” 2017.
The first part “Identifying the concerns of the electorate on the local level, reaching out to voters” took place between 28 February – 3 March in Budapest.
The focus was on public outreach – how to set up communication and organize events, organising voter contact, planning effective influence in local politics, political communication for public outreach, strategies for effective message formulation and delivery, planning the political career as well as personal political branding.
After the seminar home projects will be executed in order to implement theory into practice.
Our speakers were among others Edit Bauer MEPai and Bálint PORCSALMI, Executive President of the Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (RMDSZ), former RSI alumnus.
RSI welcomed 15 young women who are members of local councils or/and members of local party boards of EPP sister parties from Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.
The group is going to meet for the second time in April to elaborate on “Representing the concerns of the electorate, advocacy campaigns”.
