Connecting Local to Global |
We have a long-established track record initiating and developing ground-breaking national and international programmes promoting an organisation and its core values. A key achievement has been brokering partnerships between clients and international organizations such as the United Nations Environment Programme, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and the World Organization of the Scout Movement. We offer opportunities for you to: · Present a positive brand image to adults and young people, stressing how the programme encourages and develops skills or projects. · Develop a competition at local, regional, national or international level using our network of UK and/or international contacts. · Ensure that the use of branding is perceived as appropriate by teachers, community workers and environmentalists. · Create judging systems. · Provide targeted and effective publicity through events, mailings and other media. · Enhance your award scheme’s credibility by being promoted by educationalists. · Develop and deliver an end-point event where participants’ achievements can be celebrated.
