Goals
• We believe in Co-Creation. That's why we want to involve you in the
development of the Social Media Council Europe through a process of
co-creation over a period of 4 weeks.
• We want to develop the Social media Council together with you and not
only for you. So we invite you to submit ideas and discuss with us about
Social Media and different aspects of the Social Media Council.
• This co-creation process is intended to be collaborative rather than
competitive. There won't be one winning idea. We believe that there will be
a lot of great ideas that complement each other and inform the next stage
of the Social Media Council Europe.
