Social media has become one of the strongest communication channels for governments over the last years. According to the Pew Research Center, 55% of U.S. adults get their news from social media. No wonder then that the OECD report shows that 85% of the U.S. public institutions are recognising that fact and are using social media to distribute information.

Use a social wall to create interactive events. Engage with your attendees during open days, fundraisers, special sports events or concerts. A social wall will help you collect and display authentic user-generated content, spread the word about your event and make your event much more fun.
Display a social wall at City Hall, the tourist info or throughout different locations in the city.

The Federal Ministry of Education and Research in Germany collects challenges, which are compiled and presented by various STEM initiatives, on a social wall. The idea behind the social wall is to spark children’s joy for logic, geometry, geography or mechanics. By awakening kids’ passion playfully at an early age, they hope that it will evolve into a lasting one and perhaps even lead to a profession in STEM.
