After 4.5 years of leading the @IFRC social media efforts, last week I said goodbye to colleagues & friends. It was a wild ride!

Together we did some work we are proud of.

We used social media in creative ways.

We added value to our members.

We learnt together.

Here's a 👋🏽🧵 When I joined @IFRC, I wanted to:

-Elevate our social media presence
-Position the organization digitally
-Focus on shareable content & formats
-Organise social media trainings & events
-Help colleagues communicate better
-Learn from the best

I believe that worked out well!

The @IFRC_Europe communications & fundraising skillshare is happening this week in Istanbul.

150 professionals from over 50 countries sharing their expertise.

Thanks to @RedCrescent for hosting!

Here’s what we’ve seen so far #IFRCSkillshare22 👇🏽🧵
We started with an inspirational keynote from @zainab0aleqabi.

She shared her passion for storytelling and told us:

“I want to create awareness on the ground, not only on social media”

Do you remember how China built a hospital in days?
