Volunteers for PPEU

[Veronika.Nguyenova]

Dear Pirates,

this thread should serve as easy pool for volunteers willing to help with PP-EU agenda.

If you want to help, please tell us:
- few sentences about yourself, including skills that you consider useful or areas of your expertise (but do not worry, every one can help!)
- what motivates you to help PP-EU, what you want to achieve
- how much time you want to devote to PP-EU and if you want to work on one time thing or (and that is always great) you would be able to devote some time to the thing regularly

Most of the work will start in December - but let´s make sure we are all well prepared for that and our hopefully elected representatives will get all the help they can get.

Looking forward to working with you!

TO STRENGTHEN THE PIRATE PARTY IN ITS PAN-EUROPEAN ACTIVITIES, WHICH I BELEIVE WILL ALSO RESULT IN US HAVING A STRONGER PARTY HERE AT HOME AS WELL.

Hi Everyone,

I am an economics (MA: University of Toronto, Canada) and philosophy graduate (MA: University Bochum, Germany), with additional qualifications in data analysis with Stata, R, Python, and SQL. Currently, I am trainee at the European Central Bank, department of Market Infrastructure and Payments. Previously, I worked as an Economist for Bosch Financial Service Centre (Romania), and as a Statistical Officer, Office of Immigration, Government of Newfoundland and Labrador (Canada). I have background in public finance, labour market analysis, and regional development (some professional, some academic, and some both). Besides of English and Czech, I am also fluent in German.
My main motivations to help PP-EU are to support international collaboration among Pirate Parties on the European level, support the development of transparency and public involvement in political decision processes.
Currently, I can commit regularly to about 5h/week, with possibly more if a project requires it and the situation in my work position allows.
I'm happy to talk in more detail if there are any questions.

Thanks!

And we have another offer:) I will gladly manage the connection for any mischief Lucie can help with

My name is Lucie. I have more than 10 years of experience in international sales and export strategy. I have worked both in the public and private sectors in the international export area. I speak fluent English, Spanish, Portuguese and intermediate German. I have more than 10 years of experience working with young volunteers administrating Erasmus+ programme for volunteers European Solidarity Corps (former EVS).
I have been generally seeking opportunity how to help and support PP and the agenda of PP-EU seems the closest to my knowledge, experience and also interest. Another important fact is that I strongly believe in EU principals and want to make at least a small part in building them through the vision of PP.
I can dedicate 5 hours a week, will strongly depend on how it will be needed from PP-EU team.

Hi Pirates,
I would like to ask you for your help 🙏. We are gonna have an online meeting discussing PR and media strategies regarding PPEU. There are ideas for newsletters, podcasts, articles which should promote PPEU and pirate politics.

Also, we need to go through an evaluation of current practice on social media and possibly reformulate it. We need a debate on processes, codification of media plan, scope and nature of the content on social media etc. We genuinely welcome help from your side.

If you would like to help us, please don't hesitate to contact me. Lukas.
