This is done with objective presentations and within the framework of the information mandate.<br \/>\nSecond, the Federal Council and departments should exploit the potential of audiovisual formats for their activities, which are often perceived as complex.<br \/>\nThe third goal is for the Federal Council as a college to make greater use of social media to communicate on its key issues at home and abroad.<br \/>\nTo fulfill these goals, the Federal Council will set up an audiovisual center at the Federal Chancellery that will provide services to the Federal Council, its members, and the general secretariats of the departments and produce content on important political objects for use on social media.<br \/>\nIn addition to the existing channels on YouTube and Twitter (via the Federal Council spokesman), the Federal Council would like to address new target groups in a further phase.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/swissfederalism.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/67323.pdf\">Strat\u00e9gie &#8220;M\u00e9dias sociaux&#8221;<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/swissfederalism.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/67322.pdf\">M\u00e9dias sociaux &#8211; Lignes directrices<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"&quot;How to issue a central bank digital currency&quot;\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YQ2iSlKF1f8?feature=oembed&#038;width=840&#038;height=1000&#038;discover=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>In 2022 a pilot Instagram account and a Twitter profile in English<\/h4>\n<p>To this end, it will open an Instagram account from 2022 as part of a pilot project.<br \/>\nIn addition, also from 2022, the Federal Council will have a Twitter channel in English for specific topics aimed at an international audience.
