35

Instructions• In country-wise groups discuss how you can disseminate the main

BEST results in your country, each organization, pick at least one! – WP2 report, current legislation, regulation and treatment of industrial waste

waters in municipal WWTPs.– WP3, learning package and training concept– WP4, investments and local co-operation models– WP5, new guidelines for industrial WW treatment

• For each chosen WP output/ issue: – Who are the main stakeholders to be reached?– What is the most efficient way to tell about these results? (Through vocational

associations, blogs, press releases, seminars, videos, leaflets, social media campaigns…)

– Divide responsibilities and make timetable!

36

Make notes• WP 2, 3, 4, 5 separately

– Most important stakeholders to be reached?

– How you are going to reach them?

– Who is responsible for each task?

– What is the timetable?
