Dear ASCers,
Are you looking for a professional transformational experience?
The Communicating climate change series workshops are delivering even more than what they promised. Those who attended the second workshop left energised and enthusiastic about using practical new ways of thinking. Several people attended based on the strength of the first workshop and are looking forward to the third.
This is your opportunity to pick up skills to communicate for action. The workshop is in the context of climate change issues but the concepts are far more widely applicable.
I encourage you to register for the next workshop for Communicating for Action with Kath Fisher which is on next week. For the value of the skills you’ll gain this interactive learning experience is amazingly cost-effective.
Spaces are limited and if you are keen to attend book now. The workshop offers incredible value for ASC members and is a clear enticement to join ASC to get the most out of the discount.
Communicating Climate Change Workshop Series
Workshop 3: Communicating for Action with Kath Fisher (8 September 2010)
(Workshop 1 Communicating the Science with Jenni Metcalfe, was held on 11 August 2010 and received very positive feedback from attendees. Workshop 2: Communicating the Story with Sohail Inayatullah was on 25 August 2010 and gave attendees new approaches to communication.)
In Workshop 3: Communicating for Action with Kath Fisher, the 3 hour interactive session will help you to communicate for action. The workshop draws on Kath’s research interests and practical skills in community consultation processes. She will deliver a hands-on tools focused approach to engagement, with a particular focus on groups who are traditionally disengaged. Dr Kath Fisher is the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies at Southern Cross University and also works as a consultant facilitator to government and non-government organisations. Kath combines her experience in facilitation and group processes and practical skills in community consultation processes that incorporate deliberative processes, particularly citizens’ juries with her 30 years teaching in the areas of politics, sociology, economics, participatory democracy, group processes, communication and social research.
Cost: $110 for IAP2, AAEE and ASC members, students and NGOs, $220 other non-members (incl GST). The workshops are three hours long and there are two sessions each day. Cost includes morning or afternoon tea.
Venue: Powerhouse Museum, Board Room, level 5 (this is a great venue)
