One of the keys to success is being able to communicate persuasively about things that matter, and policy advocacy is one of the modern world methods of bridging the gap between experts and laymen, or service providers and their clients/customers. In order to be able to convey one’s opinions and experience across to a diverse set of audiences, this training will provide its participants with interactive exercises, handouts and theory on argumentation, debating, public speaking and policy advocacy.
She stated that at the end of the training, the participants will have a clearer understanding of how to communicate about their work and its challenges as well as potential; they will be ready to engage in public debates and discussions, having a clear personal mission and key messages; they will have higher awareness of their own communication style and how it impacts different audiences; their confidence in delivering public speeches and in expressing their views will have increased as result of the training.
