SUMMARY:Call for tenders: Communications audit [deadline extended]
DESCRIPTION:About GEF\nThe Green European Foundation (GEF) is a European-level political foundation funded by the European Parliament. GEF is affiliated to but independent from the European Green Party and Green movement in Europe. Our mission is to encourage European citizens to participate in European political discussions and in particular\, when it comes to envisioning what a Green Europe would look like. As a forum for cooperation at the European level\, we work closely with our national member foundations and thereby aim to strengthen the Green political movement and green ideas in Europe.   \nMany of our projects and campaigns are therefore lead in cooperation with other green organisations\, often in several languages. Currently our existing communications channels online are our social media channels (Twitter\, Facebook\, LinkedIn\, Instagram\, YouTube)\, different newsletters for different audiences (partners / general / trainers and consultants)\, and our websites (the main GEF website\, the green academy website\, and the greenr website). We are also slowly starting to investigate online advertising spaces and offline communications related to network coordination.  \nThe current GEF styleguide (developed in 2017) may be found here (palette and fonts) and here (photos and visuals).  \n  \nAbout this call for tender\nWe are seeking a partnership with a provider of communications audit services in order to gain a better understanding of how GEF and our messages come across to external audiences\, and what needs to change in our communications in order for us to better reflect who we are and what we are doing.  \nTo support GEF’s recent growth\, the communications team is aiming to further professionalise its communications work\, as part of our new communications strategy. In preparation of the upcoming development of a new brand identity (which will be the responsibility of another service provider)\, we are seeking providers to perform an external communications audit. The audit will serve to formulate conclusions in order to develop a well-thought-out brand identity.  \nWe would like to conduct a communications audit comprised of two parts. Part one will be conducted internally by GEF staff\, and will include surveys amongst the closer green family network (partners).  Part two shall be conducted by a service provider (following this call for tender)\, and will conduct a focus study amongst an external audience to GEF to develop a concise\, yet clear and exhaustive picture of how we come across as opposed to how we would like to come across. The communications audit should include work such as commissioned focus group studies and surveys to establish how externals outside of the GEF network perceive our messages\, image and tone.  The conclusions of the communications audit will ultimately form a basis for recommendations for our graphic designer – who will be in charge of developing a new brand identity for GEF -\, and for our further work on refining our organisational tone and editorial line.  \nGEF will be providing a contract lasting for 3 months\, with a budget of 3000 Euros.   \n  \nRequirements\n\nAvailable to work as of October 2021 \nCapable of working and communicating efficiently in English language \nWilling to think outside the box and take into consideration non-English speaking audiences in their work \nKeen to be as diverse and inclusive as possible of marginalised groups in the demographics (people of colour\, women\, LGBTQIA people\, people with disabilities\, people with different social backgrounds and levels of education\, etc) \nFlexible (e.g. can work with different response paces) \nAble to provide invoices  \nLocated in Europe \n\n  \nTasks\n\nDevelop a strategy for the communications audit including the elements indicated above \nImplement the strategy and provide data analysis and conclusions \n\n  \nSelection process \nThe result of the tender will be a 3-month contract\, with a budget of 3000 euros.  \nEach applicant is invited to submit a proposal outlining:  \n\nA brief strategic proposal and financial offer  \nExamples to previous similar work \nA short presentation of the service provider \n\nAll offers should be submitted by 18th October 2021\, 23.59 CET through our application form here.    \nFor any questions regarding this call for tenders\, please refer to our Communications Manager by 26th September 2021 latest at laura.rahman@gef.eu  \n

SUMMARY:Call for tenders: Social Secretariat
DESCRIPTION:About GEF\nThe Green European Foundation (GEF) is a European level political foundation funded by the European Parliament. It is linked to\, but independent of\, other European Green actors such as the European Green Party and the Green Group in the European Parliament. \nThe mission of GEF is to contribute to the development of a European public sphere and to foster greater involvement by citizens in European politics\, ultimately forging a stronger\, more participative democracy. GEF strives to mainstream discussions on European policies and politics both within and beyond the Green political family. It works to create a common Green vision for Europe and to communicate this to the wider public. \nIn its contribution to building another Europe\, GEF seeks to encourage cross-border cooperation and exchanges. The foundation therefore acts as a platform to discuss Europe’s shared challenges\, by bringing diverse actors together\, from European to national foundations\, think tanks\, academics and NGOs. In other words\, GEF aims at bridging the gap between activism at the national level and the decisions that are being made at the European level by coordinating a lively network. \nGEF aspires to reach broader audiences across Europe by acting as a laboratory for new ideas through the Green European Journal and other publications in different languages. The foundation also develops capacity-building and political education programmes for its partners and for young activists eager to get involved at the European level. Finally\, GEF supports its national partners across Europe to organise conferences\, seminars and other exchanges\, mainly through transnational projects. GEF operates within a European context beyond the borders of the EU\, due to the EU’s ongoing expansion and Europe’s shared values and history. \nGEF has 17 dedicated staff members who contribute to its mission. \n  \n1.
