Thunderclap: Become an election ambassador on social media

Less than two weeks to go before the European elections take place. Time to tell friends and online contacts about the upcoming elections and what’s at stake. The European Parliament's social media toolkit gives you all the information you need to become an election ambassador: videos, infographics as well as articles about the elections. And by using Thunderclap, you can help to create a social media buzz before the elections to spread the news.

Social media has become an important information tool for many people. The EP is using it to inform and create awareness. But it only works well if enough people take part to spread the message:This time its diferent!.
