SayPro strongly encourages the use of user-generated content (UGC) to promote Erasmus+ programs. UGC includes photos, videos, testimonials, and social media posts created by actual Erasmus+ participants. SayPro believes that when real people share their Erasmus+ journeys, it builds trust and relatability. SayPro advises creating branded hashtags and challenges to motivate sharing. Encouraging content creation during events or study trips helps SayPro gather authentic material that resonates with new applicants. This grassroots approach helps SayPro broaden reach and credibility in a way traditional advertising cannot match.
SayPro recommends showcasing UGC on websites, brochures, and social media to inspire future participants. Erasmus+ platforms managed by SayPro should include dedicated galleries or highlight reels featuring past experiences. SayPro has seen great success using curated student stories to humanize programs and showcase real outcomes. By doing so, SayPro ensures that Erasmus+ appears approachable, diverse, and inspiring. This method enhances connection, as potential applicants see others like themselves thriving in international environments.
To incentivize participation, SayPro suggests running social media contests where Erasmus+ participants can submit their stories for prizes or recognition. SayPro believes that recognition boosts morale and encourages more contributions. These stories also align with SayPro’s value of empowerment, giving young voices a platform. Whether through photo journals, TikToks, or long-form testimonials, SayPro sees UGC as a cost-effective and highly persuasive content strategy for Erasmus+ promotion, capturing the true spirit of cultural exchange and collaboration.
Finally, SayPro encourages using analytics to identify top-performing UGC and determine what content formats resonate most. SayPro advises repurposing this content into campaigns, presentations, and promotional events. Feedback loops should also be implemented so SayPro can acknowledge contributors and continuously refine strategies. Through UGC, SayPro brings Erasmus+ experiences to life, strengthening engagement and building an online community that reflects the diversity and potential of the program.
