Kim Larsen , President of the EACD states:“Lending the EACD voice to this statement will enable communication leaders across Europe to strengthen their knowledge positions with relevant stakeholders”
“Words matter. They can encourage socially responsible behaviour or they can reinforce fears that make people reluctant to do what is needed. Communication professionals, especially during crises, are critical partners with government in finding our collective way through times like these”, added Board member, Phil Riggins.
Ángeles Moreno, President of EUPRERA said: “We know that ethical professional communication can save lives. Excellent practitioners are key to managing a pandemic as they can facilitate and maintain relations and mutual understanding between institutions and the public”.
