    Develop a recruitement strategy that is suitable for TeachforBelgium. It is a non-profit organization aiming to reduce educational inequalities with the help of motivated scholars. Our goal was to help promote an unbiased education system and try to involve as much as possible young motivated scholars with a diverse cultural background. In charge of the digital marketing team for the mission, my goal was to improve the visibility of Teachforbelgium on the different social medias and attract more multicultural profiles. For this, we proceeded with a solution tree and worked the targeted public with focus groups and got to know their needs. Some of our recommendations were taken by the organization and they will be implementing them with our help during the next few weeks
