Purpose of Data Processing

PLUGGY’s nature is to promote citizens’ involvement in bringing out, documenting and safeguarding cultural heritage through storytelling. This makes PLUGGY inherently "social" with a strong communicative personality and sociability traits; skills that had great influence on our communication and dissemination strategy. From the very beginning of our project’s course, our main objective was to create the most effective mechanisms in order to spread our knowledge and increase awareness and understanding of our assets and fields of relevance, build new relationships as well as maintain regular contact with our identified audiences and communities. This is the rationale behind our newsletter. The periodic newsletters of PLUGGY is a key communication and dissemination mechanism for us and a channel to provide our valuable stories on PLUGGY’s developments, key findings, forthcoming events and other important news in the fields related to the project.
