Common Information Tools 
Maximum exposure is what the EGN is after when it comes to public relations. Various tools are currently being used to make sure the EGN gets the publicity it needs. These tools involve the following: <o:p></o:p>

EGN website :   www.europeangeoaprks.org<o:p></o:p>

First, as a means for communication with the public at large, the EGN now offers an attractive and up-to-date website in English,  French, German, Italian and Greek which showcases all the geoparks, their activities, facilities and the EGN’s structures and philosophy.<o:p></o:p>

EGN magazine<o:p></o:p>

The publication of the EGN magazine, which is published twice a year detailing geotourism promotion provides another mode of publicity through its distribution to geotouristic enterprises as well as schools and universities.

A common presentation series of leaflets has also been produced within the goals for the INTERREG IIIC program. These attractive leaflets bordered in green and brown include standard EGN information on the interior. 
Various questions are addressed such as: What is the EGN? Who are they for? Is it only about rocks? What would I expect to see in various geoparks? Do you know what has been happening beneath our feet in <st1:place>Europe</st1:place>? On the exterior of the leaflet, each geopark provides information about its territory and promotes its facilities and programs in an attractive layout with photos.<o:p></o:p>

European Geoparks Corner 
The E.G. Corner strengthens the bonds between members of the Network and contributes to the promotion of the Network and its ideas. Informative leaflets and products from all member territories are placed in these information corners. Thus, visitors are familiarized with the European Geoparks Network and its members and sensitised on environmental and geotouristic issues. 
In the construction of the E.G. Corner, each geopark concentrates on the special characteristics of its visitors. In particular, the main objectives (the image improvement of each geopark and the promotion of services offered) remain while each geopark creates a unique information point according to the interests of the main tourist body and also in regards to environmental features such as nature, geomorphology and clime.  <o:p></o:p>

Geopark Publications 
Besides the magazine and the leaflet series, Network members have been busy with many other publications. 
The North Pennines Geopark has put together enticing leaflets for its four cycling routes. Other leaflets bearing the UNESCO Geopark logo include Geopark Harz-Braunschweiger Land-Ostfalen as well as Beigua Geopark which details park activities, maps and involvements with the EGN. 
The <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Madonie</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName>Cultural</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType>Park</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>’s attractive fold–out leaflet titled "Stone and Water" sets out 3 walking routes for Geopark visitors.
