TISPOL Bulletin Tuesday 4 September 2018
We
really want you to take part in the campaign leading up to Project
EDWARD, with daily Twitter messages that have already started and will
continue to Project EDWARD Day on Wednesday 19 September.
Everything
you need is in the resources library, including a schedule of tweets,
the wording for each tweet and an accompanying image (each with English
text as above, and also a blank space if you wish to add text of your
own). Feel free to translate the tweets and share in your own language -
just always ensure that every tweet includes #ProjectEDWARD.
To
access the resources library, you just need to register with your name,
organisation and email address. It's as quick and simple as that!
