Consigue con tus pines un pase VIP para la fiesta de lanzamiento de Webb gracias al nuevo canal de Pinterest de la ESA
La ESA está diversificando su presencia online con el lanzamiento de un canal de Pinterest y quiere contar con su creativo público para preparar una fiesta de Halloween de temática espacial de cara al lanzamiento de la misión internacional Webb, que tendrá lugar a finales de este año.
“Estamos muy orgullosos de nuestra presencia global en las redes sociales, sobre todo gracias a nuestras cuentas de Instagram, Twitter, Facebook y YouTube, pero es el momento de diversificar las plataformas en las que estamos activos para llegar a un nuevo público”, apunta Philippe Willekens, jefe de Comunicación de la ESA. “El descubrimiento y la inspiración son los puntos fuertes de Pinterest, y también lo son de la ESA. Estamos deseando interactuar con el público tan creativo que usa este canal y descubrir cómo se ve inspirado por nuestras actividades espaciales”.
“Si alguien busca actividades prácticas infantiles que entretengan y eduquen o citas motivacionales, si quiere ver el aspecto que presenta su país o el próximo destino de sus vacaciones desde el espacio, o si simplemente desea disfrutar de bonitas imágenes del universo, esperamos que encuentre nuevas ideas e información en nuestro vasto acervo de contenido”, señala Maria Bennett, responsable de la Oficina de Producción de Medios Digitales y del equipo de redes sociales de la ESA.
Coincidiendo con el lanzamiento de este nuevo canal, la ESA quiere invitar a los organizadores de fiestas activos en Pinterest a crear su mejor Halloween de temática espacial. ¿Por qué? Porque la ESA lanzará una nueva misión internacional, el telescopio espacial James Webb (Webb), a bordo de un cohete Ariane 5 desde el Puerto Espacial Europeo de Kurú (Guayana Francesa) durante una ventana de lanzamiento que se abrirá el 31 de octubre, un día en el que numerosos países de todo el mundo celebran Halloween.

Webb is destined to make breakthrough discoveries in all fields of astronomy. It will give us the deepest insight yet to our origins, from the formation of stars and planets to the birth of the first galaxies in the early Universe.
ESA has already started planning world-wide Webb launch activities, with the main VIP event anticipated to take place at ESTEC, ESA’s technical centre in the Netherlands. There, guests will be able to follow the launch livestream together – COVID-19 restrictions permitting.
“We’re already planning our launch events and suspect you might be thinking ahead to planning parties as well, once COVID-19 restrictions ease in your country,” says Kai Noeske, Science Programme Communication Officer. “To celebrate the launch of the Webb mission, as well as the inauguration of ESA’s Pinterest channel, we’re offering you the chance to join our VIP event through this unique contest.”
To be in for a chance of winning, we invite you to create your own space-themed Halloween party concept by pinning up to 20 pins to visualize your party idea. Bonus points for including Webb and Ariane-related pins! See full details of how to enter, together with the terms and conditions, and privacy notice, below or at the linked pages. The competition is open from 30 June until 12 September and can only be entered via ESA’s Pinterest channel.
“Today, 30 June, is well-known in the social media universe as being ‘World Social Media Day’, which recognizes social media’s impact on global communication, and as such is the perfect occasion for us to celebrate our audiences across all of our networks,” adds Maria. “Unlike our news-driven platforms, however, Pinterest is a visual discovery engine that has the potential to shine a light on our otherwise hidden content. We’re excited to join the Pinterest community and look forward to seeing your space-themed party ideas!”

Tips!
First and foremost, we’re looking for creativity and imagination! We hope you’ll spend some time exploring Webb mission-related content to get inspired.
