Public engagement training for climate experts
Are you a climate expert who wants to inspire people to take action?
We believe everyone has a powerful climate story to tell.
What will I get from this training?
Climate Outreach’s public engagement workshop for climate experts is a distillation of our huge evidence base and experience into an accessible and inspiring session.
The workshop will hone in on your role as a climate expert and trusted spokesperson. We’ll explore what this means for connecting with different audiences and influencing meaningful action on climate change.
Our online workshop will allow you to:
- Take your science outside the walls of academia through relatable concepts and accessible language.
- Gain an understanding of how to connect with your audience through values and framing.
- Explore ways to tell a powerful human story.
- Gain strategies for navigating opposing views, misinformation and challenging conversations.
- Become a confident communicator with a clear vision for the role you play in gaining trust and influence with your own audiences.
How can I book my place?
I think the workshop was great fun. I liked how interactive it was and how it also forced us (in a good way!) to realistically plan our outreach activity. I also liked how the workshop made me think about why the audience would be interested in what I have to say, rather than focusing on me and the points I wanted to make!
