The social media section includes also the new YouTube channel and the overall strategy for MyClimateServices.
In order to disseminate project activities, CLARITY was presented in different events during the first year of the project. Scientific publications and detailed information of attended events are reported in section 5. Each of these events is reported in this document including the relevance for CLARITY. The End-users workshops carried out in year 1 have also been reported in section 6 as a dissemination activity.

Next steps and the strategy are also included in the conclusions section.
