[JOHN MORE]

+1.  Good example of the possibilities that can be created through a Chapter’s ingenuity and an ISOC small grant.

>> Hi, everyone.
>> Thought this may be of interest for the chapters.
>> Few months ago, ISOC Bulgaria applied for a small grant under the Beyond the Net Small Grants Program of the ISOC Foundation. 
>> The goal was to tackle disinformation, related to COVID-19, which is widely spreading in Bulgaria. The organization wanted to provide factual information, and thanks to one of the active participants, a teacher in journalism and mass communications, this happened. He published a number of articles on our newly established FB page, and also interviewed key doctors, officials and experts, who shared scientific information in a very user-friendly way.
>> The primary vehicle was Facebook, as more than half of the total population of Bulgaria is actively engaged with this particular platform. 
>> The new ISOC Bulgaria Facebook page in a little bit more than 2 months has 821 people, who like it, and 1,180, who are following it. The Zoom calls were advertised, and thus reached between 35,1K and 89,1K views. The total amount of people reached through the small ad campaign, was 979,477. This is about 25% of all Facebook users in the country. We also had some positive feedback about the articles we published on our blog, where the articles we published in the first week of the project, were viewed 6,119 times and shared 31 times. ISOC - Bulgaria was also approached by the National Public Radio, and asked to share details in one of the morning shows, which has pretty good audience. 
>> 
>> The whole campaign was a success.
>> We are thankful to the Internet Society Foundation for their support!
