Difficulties in reaching citizens Sample Clauses

Difficulties in reaching citizens. Reaching people is a slow and time-consuming task. So a good practice is to launch pilot projects as soon as possible and to be flexible, since it is very difficult to quantify the actual effort from the beginning. • It is risky to ignore the specificities of different geographical areas. It is necessary to analyse the demography of the people you want to reach: o One mistake to avoid is not taking into account the political ideology of specific areas where resistance to the project can be very high. o It is suggested that in areas where the socioeconomic level is higher, people tend to mobilise for entertaining reasons, while in poorer areas people tend to act for a social change. o If a specific group is not reached, then try other channels. • Be aware of the difficulty of creating and sustaining public engagement since communities are based on volunteer work. Otherwise funding is needed to bring on board facilitators and communication professionals that keep specific projects alive through time. • Hiring a communication specialist is not a wasted cost but a necessary investment. • Depending on the platform you use to reach people, there is the risk of high drop- out rates and low attendance. A good practice is to send a kind and caring message to all participants a few days before the event to remind them of the event and that their attendance is valued highly.
