Section 4: Communications (BETA)
This section supports all volunteers and local groups in communicating effectively and smoothly. Here you’ll find key resources including templates, graphic guidelines, and practical tools to help you stay aligned with EWB-SWE’s mission and voice. Clear, inclusive, and engaging communication is essential to building awareness, strengthening our community, and sharing the impact of our work—locally and globally.
All documents are also available on our Google Drive, where you can find additional background materials. If you’re unsure where to begin or can’t find what you need, don’t hesitate to reach out to your local group leader or the national secretariat.

Presentations
To support flexible communication, we provide a PowerPoint presentation template that can be adapted to suit different audiences and occasions. This allows you to tailor the content while staying aligned with EWB-SWE’s visual identity and key messages. To the right is the same presentation as a pdf.
Communication Channels
Communications are key to building our brand, raising awareness about our areas of work, growing our community, and sharing the impact of our efforts. Here’s how we stay connected:
Website: Our central hub for updates, project highlights, and resources. Visit: www.ewb-swe.org
Newsletter: Reaching 5,000+ subscribers with monthly updates and opportunities to get involved. All members automatically receive our newsletter. Others interested can sign up via our homepage.
Networking: We build partnerships across academia, industry, and the non-profit sector to broaden our reach and impact. The names and logotypes of our partners and collaborators are displayed on our homepage.
Media Relations: By developing strong media relations and offering easily accessible materials in our Press Room, we aim to position EWB-SWE as a credible voice in sustainable engineering and development. Our Press Room is also the place to find press photos, boilerplates and earlier publicity.
Social Media: We use social media not only to inform—but also to build our brand. We share project stories, highlight partnerships, and engage with organisations and networks working towards a more sustainable and equitable world. We actively encourage our local groups to contribute and participate. Find more details below.
Video material
We try to use video based information materials whenever possible. Most materials are posted on our Youtube channel, like for example this intro vide for EWB-SWE from one of our information seminars for new members in Febrary 2025.
Alternatives to X and META?
Social Media
Our Social Media accounts
We use social media not just to inform—but to build our brand. We share project stories, spotlight partnerships, and engage with other organisations and networks working towards a more sustainable and equitable world. We encourage our local groups to use and develop their own accounts as part of this effort.
LinkedIn (11,200 followers): Reaching the professional community
Facebook (7,560 followers): Reaching an international audience, as Facebook is widely used by NGOs in other regions
Instagram (1,440 followers): Connecting with students and international NGOs
Twitter/X (300 followers): Engaging with international audiences and media to promote humanitarian engineering and sustainability
We have also begun using alternative platforms such as Bluesky and Mastodon to broaden our reach and diversify our affiliations.
Local groups SoMe accounts
We encourage our local groups to use and develop their own social media accounts as part of our collective communications efforts. However, it’s important to clearly state the group’s affiliation with EWB-SWE for transparency and to respect our brand hierarchy.
Please get in touch with the communications team if your group plans to start a new channel or account.
Campaigns
We regularly run national campaigns to raise awareness and support for our work—especially our international projects. We typically organise two main campaigns each year: one in summer and one during winter and the Christmas season, along with shorter campaigns around key dates such as Giving Tuesday, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and other international observances.
Our campaign themes often highlight urgent needs and long-term goals within our projects. For example, our Summer 2024 campaign, “Water is Life”, focused on access to clean water, while our Winter/Christmas campaign spotlighted WASH in schools. Past campaigns have also raised funds for the extension of a school in Tanzania, supporting continued education for girls.
Sharing is caring!
We regularly share campaign materials for use by local groups, staff, and volunteers—making it easy to support and amplify our message. While we don’t keep printed materials in stock, we're happy to help create or order what you need for a specific event or initiative. Just get in touch!
