The brief
BSR Go-Abroad was an international collaboration program connecting founders, partners, and stakeholders across the Baltic Sea Region. It brought together organisations from Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Estonia, all working to support small and medium businesses expanding into new markets.
I joined the program through Charge AS as the main Norwegian contact, responsible for keeping communication clear across countries and teams.
What I did
- Acted as the primary point of contact between Norwegian and international partner organisations
- Coordinated documentation, updates, and stakeholder communication across eight countries
- Produced campaign content and visual documentation of the collaboration
- Supported the program across digital channels, including a recruitment campaign video shared on LinkedIn
- Attended partner meetings throughout the program, including a full partner gathering in Gdansk, Poland in early 2025, organised by our Polish counterparts
The result
The most challenging piece of this work was building a workable database for the Norwegian team. The mother database, created by the main partner organisation and shared across all eight countries, was thorough but too complex for day-to-day local use. I built a simplified version we could actually work from, while still monitoring the mother database for updates and leaning on weekly check-ins from partner organisations to keep things current. The local version also let me track participant progress across each stage of the program. Quiet infrastructure work, but it kept the Norwegian side of things organised end-to-end.
