Empower EUR Teams

EUR Policy 

We can be proud that in Volt we agree on 95% policies between countries. However, we need to stop fighting on the remaining 5%.
Instead, we should improve and share the work we already have.

• Establish a clear process for modifying Volt Europa policies

• Share a clear calendar to show when topics will be discussed, avoiding simultaneous debates

• Agree to disagree is not a problem if we have common redlines 

• Create a website where anyone can easily compare political topics across countries and see how each country handles the same issue and what Volt is pushing for

Empower new members 

Most members that join Volt are new to politics. We need to guide them more by sharing knowledge.

• Create some webinars, like :

  • How party works / tutorial for activist / Summary sheet for debate

  • Personal skill : Lead a group / Active listening / Rhetoric

  • Software : How to use Gmail / Miro / Google Docs, etc…

• Create some trainings about management for members who are going to be in charge of a team

• Encourage traveling members who have time to support campaigns through a network of couchsurfing hosts

• Improve visibility of European Communities

EUR Community  

Many members haven’t moved to Haiilo yet, and still rely mainly on national / local WhatsApp. We need to connect with them too.

• Share more information on Volt Europa WhatsApp community

• Improve onboarding by having a presentation video (E.g. : Volt GER) and having new candidate members select a time slot from a list of onboarding members' availabilities (E.g. : Calendry)

  • Onboarding 2.5 process

• Put extra effort into welcoming women by prioritizing their onboarding with mentoring and a more personal experience.

EUR Communication 

Volt Europa communication team should be more about helping national teams and coordinating volunteers than creating content 

• Create a database of videos to improve chapter production

• We need to think about a true YouTube strategy for Volt Europa and help national chapters who have one

• Pay advertising for Volt Europa on social networks

• Increase communication specifically focused on women, especially on social networks

• Anticipate communication for important dates like 9th May

EUR Tech  

Volt Europa is in charge of the technical aspect of the organisation.
As an engineer, I want to follow this topic more closely.

• Develop tools to automate some repetitive work for teams

• Give some professional access to national teams to useful tech tools like Asana, Miro, Calendry, Canva, etc…

• Invest in SEO for national websites, so that :

  • Volt should appear (in every language) first in Google when someone in searching for "european party", "federal party", and so on…

• We need to think about a long-term solution to escape from Google Workplace and go for a European, open source solution.
