1. Introduction
We need to communicate all the activities carried out within the CLICHE project and
disseminate the results that we will obtain. The overall objective of all our
communication actions is to maximize the impact of CLICHÉ project. Efficient
communication and dissemination of the activities, the processes and results that are
products of our efforts, along the project is crucial to our impact. Exploitation is also a
very important aspect, that is when, why, how and by whom these results will be used
to create change.
By whom?
Industry, Chambers of commerce and industry SMEs, and those that can make good
use of them: authorities, industrial authorities, policymakers, sectors of interest, civil
society, other schools, libraries, etc
How?
• Creating roadmaps, prototypes, software
• Sharing knowledge, skills, data
When?
Towards the end and beyond, as soon as the action has exploitable results
Why?
• To lead to new legislation or recommendations or school curricula
• For the benefit of the local economy and the society and of innovation,
Moreover, it is important to consider that Communication, Dissemination and
Exploitation are a very important aspects of the evaluation of Erasmus + projects. Last
but not least, after the pandemic and the quarantine digital ways of Communication,
Dissemination and Exploitation should be considered.
In this Communication and Dissemination plan, we will
concrete the pursued objectives,
identify the target groups and stakeholders,

Objectives of communication and dissemination within the
Erasmus+ CLICHE project
Let us begin by stating the overall goal of CLICHE:
Erasmus+ CLICHE is a European project which aims to research local intangible cultural
heritage in 6 European countries, create an inventory--joinedparticipatory wiki-- with the
results of this research (IO1), designblended lessons on ESD (IO2), prepare TedTalks about
innovativewaystocapitalize onthelocalinheritance,aswell as generalguidelineson TedTalks
(IO3) and make transmediastories(IO4) and a cultural route about crafts and artisans in the
6 countries of CLICHE.
The project’sofficial set-upwasin September2018. Asa consequence,the objectivesof the
communication and dissemination actions are identified as:
i. Make the target groupsaware of the global goalsof CLICHE, inorderfor themto
take interestinthe progressesandoutputsof the project.
ii. Provide timelyinformationaboutthe activitiescarriedoutwithinCLICHE,orby
CLICHE membersalignedwiththe CLICHEgoals.
iii. Provide timelyinformationaboutthe progressesof CLICHEtowardsachievementof
itsconcrete objectives.
iv. Share the knowledge acquiredalongthe CLICHEprojectlife span.
Thisknowledge mayrelate tohow to:
make field research to discover out local ICH heritage,
make videoswithinterviewsof local bearerswiththe use of Web2.0 toolsin
the classroom to improve the learning process (e.g. student-centred
methodologies),
prepare blended educational packages that combine ICH Elements and ESD
Principles for Learning (Education for Sustainable Development),
organise fairsandtalkswithICHexperts andbearers todraw the attentionof
the whole school and the wider community,
make a SWOT analysis focusing on what is really important and developing
aspects of an action-oriented plan with regard to the viability of local ICH,
write a strongVision-Missionstatementthatexplainsouraspirationsforthe
sustainable useof ourICHanditsexploitationasabrandname inourregions,
come up with innovative ideasabout start-ups or apps to capitalize on local
ICH,
3. get to knowhow to make a start up or app aboutthe local ICH capitalization
with help from Junior Achievement agencies or local/european
entrepreneurs,
prepare TedTalks presenting our ideas on a students’ 3-day conference
(online),
prepare guidelines on TedTalks (TedTalk Manual),
make Transmedia Stories and hashtags, mascots so to make our local ICH
known in social media and beyond, and
a transnational Cultural Route,
promote the creation and development of a community of users of CLICHE,
so that the results will persist and develop beyond the life of the project.
Target groups and stakeholders
The communication and dissemination of results should be directed towards the following
target groups:
1. Teachers of any educational level: primary education, secondary education,vocational
training, universities and adult education.
2. Influential teachers and educators in Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc…

7. Open nature of the results
Our commitmentistoshare and buildcommunity.Togetherwe are strongerthanthe sum of
our individual capacitiesandtalents.The Erasmus+ CLICHE is stronglycommittedtobe open
with regard to its outputs and tools. As a consequence, all the project's data that will be
generated during the project will be available in Open Access repositories.
Transfer of results to the society
Through the students’ conference and Multiplier Event, the results of the project will be
transferred to other teachers and possible stakeholders.
How to measure the efficiency of our communication and
dissemination measures?
The followingindicatorswill be collectedtomeasurethe efficiencyof ourcommunicationand
dissemination measures.
1. A short quantitative report on the CLICHE communication will be prepared and
presented at each transnational meeting.
2. Number of visits/visitors to the CLICHE Facebook and other social media, number of
visits to each blog post/news, hashtags, etc…
3. Number of news/posts, etc. published in the CLICHE social media and the partners’
school webpages.
4. Number of tweets / retweets / followers / mentions, etc. in social media.
5. Number of meetings with stakeholders.
6. Number of presentations made to present the project in workshops, meetings,
conferences with the approximate number of attendees.
7. Number of newspaper articles, radio or programs with mentions to CLICHE.
8. Impact on "political" measures, regarding dissemination and adoption of CLICHE
results.
The Erasmus + Project Results Platform
The Erasmus + Project Results Platform is essential for review by the Officer, and for
dissemination after the end of the project. CLICHE has already its space on the platform.
We should startuploadingthe resultsassoonaswe have produced any outputs or outcome
s relevant for the project.
The idea is to make the project's resultsaccessible to a wideraudience, and may
be reused by other organisations.
Taken from the supporting documents in the platform:
8. Results are either (a) outputs or (b) outcomes:
a) Output: a tangible product which is produced by a given project and which may be
quantified; this is what one should find in the Erasmus+ Project Results Platform.
b) Outcome: an intangibleadded value achieved through theimplementation of the project
objectives and targets. Ordinarily, such added value defies quantification, whether it covers
concrete events and actions such as training, training platforms,content or methodology, or
more abstract consequences such as increased awareness, increased skills or improved
abilities.,
Moreover, these are the kind of results that can be uploaded to the platform:
