Event Planning & Publicity
Publicity Methods Used:
- Emails
- Mailings

Feedback & Keys to Success
How do you feel BAW participation benefited your organization and the local community?
We have prepared all materials, available on our website (https://inc.uab.cat/ca/comunicacio/materials-de-divulgacio), but events will be hosted next year due to the school calendar.
Please share any suggestions or lessons learned that may help others plan future events:
Consider the time you will spend preparing all materials and the school’s calendar (most of them have everything planned three months in advance).
