Social network are the new channel for communication. On them information, true or fake, have the chance to reach million of people in a second, creating new possibilities but also high risk if the information are not correct or vehiculated properly.

Training EU project managers, particularly those working in Erasmus + KA2, on a better use of social network is key to allow Europe to spread its messages and values, reach more people with the opportunities offered and increase awareness at local level of what Europe is doing for the communities in each member state.
