Communications Officers Working Group 23 June 2026

The European Social Network (ESN)'s Communications Officers Working Group is an opportunity for communications professionals working for ESN Member Organisations to share ideas, best practices, and strategies for effective communication, enabling members to learn from each other’s experiences.

Through the ESN Communications Working Group, ESN aims to foster networking and relationship-building among communication professionals in social services, and open doors for future collaborations and partnerships.

The fourth meeting will take place online on Tuesday 23 June 2026, 14:00-15:30 CET on the theme of “How to Adapt to a Constantly Changing Digital Landscape”. Please read the concept note for more information about the group, the meeting, and why you should take part.
