Help me put together a communication plan ahead of Lote?

Hi everyone, putting this together as an overview of what we’d need to do together in the following two months. The way I see it, we’d move along 3 lines:

  1. Support content production: assisting the agenda builders and local engagers (eg in Matera) with content, design and templates they can use to channel Stewardship stories towards Edgeryders.

  2. Social media engagement: keep up with our daily routines, increase the number of team members sharing daily headlines and broaden the conversation to channel content towards the Lote4 discussion group and agenda making.

3. Smooth teams coordination: circulate internal updates, chase team leaders to share the work online, maintain transparency and openness as new people are coming in to support the effort.

To roll out with this we’re going to need everyone in the Lote4 Communication team on board. Can I ask you to check the below and take on tasks which you would enjoy the most or share some new ideas?
