A four- day visit of Caritas Europa Communication Officer Mr. Alain Rodríguez to «Armenian Caritas» offices in Gyumri and Yerevan was an unforgettable experience for all «Armenian Caritas» staff.

The visit was especially important in the frame of a newly adopted “Communication Strategy for Advocacy” which to be used as for the ongoing so for new projects of “AC.”

The consultations made by a well-known specialist in the area were a real asset for the Communication Unit and AC Centers communication responsibles in particular.

The consultations included such topics as ”Implementation of the organization’s communication strategy, website and social media, periodicals, communication materials, media monitoring, media relations, audience targeted communication.”

Alain’s suggestions were timely, important and thought-provoking. A very important aspect of the visit was an onsite and personal acquaintance with the staff, projects and other work-related issues, as no any report or newsletter is able to convey what the first-hand and real experience can.

The last but not least, Alain was introduced to the Armenian ancient culture which is another pillar of Caritas work.

Hopefully such visits will contribute to better understanding of each other, promoting the values of love and mutual support that all Caritas organizations share.
