PR carries aira's story beyond the classroom, turning technical and scientific progress into stories anyone can follow.

PR

Clean air in classrooms depends on people understanding why it matters. PR builds visibility and credibility for aira among local and international audiences and shapes the narrative around the initiative's mission, so that a parent in Pljevlja and a delegate in New York can both see what aira is doing and why it matters to them.

How We Tell the Story, Audience by Audience

PR builds long-term relationships with media outlets and international organisations, and shapes each message for the people who need to hear it.

  1. International Audiences

    Aira on the World Stage

    Aira was presented at Indoor Air 2026 in Singapore and brought healthy indoor air in schools to the UNGA side event in New York in September 2026, supported by press packages before and after the UN engagement. Next comes Devcon 8 in India, where the focus turns to blockchain and cryptography for the aira system.

    Launching aira

    The official MIAI and aira launch event, held in September 2026, introduced the initiative to the public in Montenegro and marked the opening of the pilot phase.

  3. The Media

    Stories Behind the Data

    PR publishes articles on aira's events and covers its donations to the University of Montenegro, the University of Donja Gorica, Malac Genijalac ("Little Geniuses"), kindergartens in Pljevlja and Bijelo Polje, and technical schools.

Keeping Momentum

Between major milestones, PR keeps aira visible. Campaigns such as Cleaning Action and continued community outreach carry the momentum into 2027, alongside an ongoing media and donation programme.

The Foundation

Built With Global Partners

PR draws on aira's wider network to reach the audiences that can act on its message, from the governments of Montenegro, France and Eswatini, which co-sponsored the 2026 UNGA side event, to international organisations.

  • Co-sponsoring governments

  • International organisations

  • Media relationships

  • Community & donations

Where we're headed
