Gentili Soci,
desideriamo segnalarvi alcune importanti attività:
1) La piattaforma europea Plants for the Future ha lanciato una campagna per supportare le NGT descritta qui sotto. Si tratta di realizzare un brevissimo video e inviarlo come descritto, entro il 10 febbraio (il Consiglio europeo si riunisce il 14). I promotori vorrebbero raccogliere un grande numero di video ma è richiesto di continuare a inviarli anche dopo. Vi riportiamo qui di seguito l’iniziativa per questa campagna che vi invitiamo a sostenere:
"Dear all,
We are excited to announce a new campaign organised by Plants for the Future in support of NGTs, and we need your help to make it a success!
Our goal is to demonstrate broad support for NGTs through a social media campaign launching the week of 10th February, ahead of the Council meeting on 14th February (their meeting to discuss NGTs). The campaign will feature short videos of individuals holding a sheet of paper with the sentence "I support NGTs" and saying the same sentence out loud.
This is a rolling campaign, meaning we will continue collecting and compiling videos in the coming months to keep the momentum going. However, for the first round, we’d like to receive submissions by 10th February so we can create an initial video compilation by then.
Here’s how you can get involved:
Record a video: Hold a sheet of paper with "I support NGTs" written on it and say the sentence out loud. Videos should be a maximum of 6 seconds.
Submit your video: Use our simple submission form ? https://form.jotform.com/250224116490346 . The form includes an example video, step-by-step instructions, and a short disclaimer about how the videos will be used.
Share widely: Please encourage your colleagues, members, and other NGT supporters to join in! This campaign will only succeed if many of us participate. The process takes less than 5 minutes, making it quick and easy for anyone to participate.
The campaign will assemble these contributions into compilation-videos to be shared on social media, showcasing the collective support for NGTs. Each participant’s name, role, and organisation will be displayed alongside their video, with the accompanying caption message: "We support NGTs, and we want Europe to support them too." We’ll also highlight that this is a collective effort from individuals across diverse sectors who want to see the EU NGT legislation move forward.
Thank you for supporting this initiative. Your participation will play a crucial role in amplifying our message and showing the strength of support for NGTs across diverse sectors.
Let’s work together to make this campaign a success! ?
Best regards,
Barbara
