Communication and Dissemination

The objective of this Work Package is to get more visibility and therefore acceptance of the co-organisers and archaeological open-air museums in general.
We need to see:
how each museum can bring its own message better and
define a common approach, ‘a brand’ for archaeological open-air museums in Europe.
We will use the existing C&D strategies of the co-organisers to start with. The OpenArch website will be important, which needs to be developed with permanency in mind. Also the co-organiser’s own website and folders & merchandising needs to be used. Mailing lists should be created which can be used – if relevant – by individual partners.

For the tourist visitors we will develop the online archaeological open-air museums overview across Europe with more options for users. Social media will be used where possible. Tips & tricks, possibly in workshops, will be shared.
