Interested to create and coordinate a Community Group?
European and national level stakeholder organisations and institutes who are members of the Rural Pact can express their interest to act as a “community coordinator” to create and coordinate a Community Group for action, referred to more simply as “group” on the platform.
One or more stakeholder organisations can decide to partner to create and drive a Community Group. The coordinator (or group of coordinators) is the manager of the Community Group and the main interlocutor for the managers of the Rural Pact Community Platform, the European Commission and the Rural Pact Support Office.
The role and responsibilities of Community Group Coordinators include:
- Community Group creation;
- Community management, engagement and facilitation;
- Set and update the strategic objectives and focus;
- Content moderation and quality assurance;
- Community growth and outreach;
- Feedback collection and analysis.
