EPSA Awareness Campaign

The European Pharmaceutical Students’ Association was founded in 1978 with the aim to develop the interests and opinions of European pharmaceutical students and recent graduates as well as to encourage contact and cooperation between them. And throughout the association’s existence its vision is to represent, reach and engage every single pharmaceutical student in Europe. With that in mind, we are always aware of the importance of bringing EPSA closer to our members and those, who might not even know that they are our members or that an association like ours exists.

To not only introduce the association to those, who might not be as familiar with it, but to as well emphasize that EPSA is its members and the work it coordinates, projects it organizes and events it plans is solely for its members and to present them with opportunities, which would maybe not be there otherwise, we prepared an EPSA Awareness Campaign under the hashtag #WeAreEPSA.

This specific hashtag was picked to show that you, me and every other student in the pharmaceutical sciences studies in Europe, is EPSA. Not only that, it was chosen to promote collaboration among us and showcase the power a network, where knowledge and experience are shared, has.

The campaign was launched in Poreč, Croatia, at the 16th EPSA Autumn Assembly, where a photo wall with the hashtag #WeAreEPSA was constructed. Our students could then engage with it and be part of the campaign. The goal for the first installment was that our members take a photo with the hashtag in the background and for it to be shared on social media channels. Collectively our posts could then reach students, who might not know of EPSA and the opportunities it can bring.

Our installment in Croatia was only the start of the campaign and we are very thankful to those who took photos and participated in the activity. We will continue with our efforts and spread awareness about EPSA in the future, so we sincerely hope you will join us too!

And remember #WeAreEPSA!
