Being a CEC City Lead is an exciting endeavour. The below Toolkits are designed to provide you with the tools to be successful. This information should make running your City CEC easier, more fun and ensure success. If there is something you think we should add, please just let us know – we are always open to suggestions.
A) Brand guidelines & all materials
Which CEC logo should I use? Can I set up a group on a social networking site? Are there templates for slides and banners? Below is guidance on this topics. If you need any clarification or would like to discuss your use of the materials please contact the CEC.
B) Format of CEC activities
We encourage you to bring your local network together at least twice a year, but you are free to organize as many events as you wish during your time holding the CEC local license. Which kind of sessions should you run? What format should they take? Here are some examples:
- Circular Cities Session to urge your Mayor to issue a circular strategy
- Host a webinar of the Circular Cities Week Report
- Circular Economy Mapping Session
- DIF Viewing session in collaboration with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation
- Screening session of “Closing the Loop” documentary
- For University Organizers: workshop session on how to include CE in the curriculum
- Other formats of CEC activities
C) Your team
If you’re going to organize great CEC activities, you’ll want to recruit a small but great team. How do you get started?
D) Venue + sponsors
Selecting the right venue and creating a budget for your events can be challenging but CEC has prepared the below information to help you with this.
E) Advertising
You can anticipate having a full session hosting activities under the CEC brand, however, CEC still encourages you to advertise and promote your session to drive up attendance.
Before each event
- Your event registration page in Eventbrite or elsewhere
- Who to invite & invitation template
- Social media & press release
After each event
- Thank you email to attendees and collaborators
- Upload the best 10 photos from your session to your event listing at CEC so that the photos appear in your CEC local group, as well as in the CEC Facebook group and CEC Linkedin group, include the: title, date and the city where the event took place;
- Ask a participant to leave you a “Review” on your event listing.
