Overview
The good work done by too many social movements, community groups and NGOs is simply not known outside their base because we keep using familiar communications channels and tools. This can limit the impact of our campaigns, fundraising and volunteer recruitment. This workshop will provide tools to help identify audiences, messages and the key drivers of behaviour to craft effective and unique campaign strategies and tactics. By focusing our energy – and our message – where it will have the biggest impact our work can take us further.
The course will include presentations, small group work, and coaching.
Expected Outcomes
- Learn how to craft your stories to move your supporters and your community to action.
- Refine your key messages and improve your individual presentation skills.
- Practice strategies to improve your profile and effectiveness.
