When proximity also calls for institutional judgement
In small towns, being close to the public is a strength, but it also increases the personal exposure of mayors, councillors and municipal teams. Every visible action, message, post or decision has a direct impact on the trust that the local council inspires.
This programme helps rural local authorities to strengthen their public communication, streamline their institutional representation and professionalise their image without losing the sense of community that characterises rural life.
Areas of work

Messages, channels, engagement with the public and the council’s digital presence.
