#BarcampBPA

How does political communication succeed in the digital space? Does journalism work on Instagram? Do we need new participation and dialogue formats? In January 2020, the first barcamp of the Federal Press Office on political communication took place under the hashtag #BarcampBPA. In a total of 38 sessions and 6 discussion formats, the more than 200 participating experts in political communication from the media, academia, foundations, think tanks, employees of the Federal Press Office and communication and press departments of the federal ministries were able to discuss topics and search for answers.

The #BarcampBPA took place in artlofts.berlin and its 6 partner lofts and required a high degree of professionalism in the areas of event management, participation management, logistics and production at all levels of organisation and implementation. Further challenges for mediapool were the successful planning of the high-quality vegetarian-vegan slow food catering and the implementation of the day event according to the guidelines of sustainable conference planning.
