TED Communication & Media Guide
This fantastic resource, covering a variety of topics from content creation to cybersecurity, and from crisis communication to communication audits, is the result of cooperation between, and drawing on the resources of Adventist communicators across three divisions: North American (NAD), Inter-European (EUD) and Trans-European (TED) divisions. You can download it here.
European Communication Webinars
The Trans-European Division (TED) and Inter-European Division (EUD) communication teams are collaborating together to provide you with 10 free European Communication Webinars per year. The webinars take place the last Tuesday of each month, at 6:00 pm London time (7.00 pm Bern). Topics vary from developing content strategy to avoiding burnout and will be presented by professionals from around the world.
GAiN Europe is the annual conference designed to help Adventist communicators connect and work together. It normally takes place in October, over a weekend (Friday to Monday). In addition to great training and networking opportunities, GAiN Europe produces an annual multimedia project. Happiness, the fifth GAiN Europe project of this kind, includes a book, a documentary series, and even social media clips. These resources are available free of charge through the GAiN Europe network. They can be used by church media entities, ministries, Hope Channel studios, and Adventist radio stations around the world.
We want to empower digital evangelists across the division to share the Gospel with their families, friends, and wider community. We believe it is imperative that we support their development with both appropriate training and funding. For this reason, we have created the Digital Evangelism Forum, a hub to share resources and inspire one another. Quarterly meetings take place via Zoom.
