Project: Social Media Strategy & Content Development
Client name: Swadhinata Trust
The Swadhinata Trust is a London based secular Bengali community group that works to promote Bengali history and heritage amongst young people. It has been active for over twenty years.
A previous impact evaluation project undertaken by qHeritage recommended that the Swadhinata Trust review and extend its online presence. The Swadhinata Trust subsequently revamped its website and launched an Instagram and Facebook page to showcase its activities to a wider audience. In this project, as a team from across different Schools, will evaluate the Trust’s current social media presence, develop a social media strategy and produce engaging content. The aim is that your strategy will expand their audiences/users/stakeholders, notably by reaching QM students and Bengali communities.
