This workshop will provide practical advice and hands-on exercises to turn your idea into a powerful message. Getting rid of jargon is only the first step. We’ll help you frame your message, tailor it to your audience, and choose the right way to communicate it. You’ll walk out the door with a plan!
Bring something you want to say to a non-academic audience.

In this interactive workshop, UMCCTS affiliates will participate in a series of hands-on exercises to help them develop clear messages intended for specified audiences, in order to promote audience interest and engagement. Participants will work with the workshop instructors and in small groups to clarify what they have to say, why their message matters, and why it is important for the audiences they wish to engage.
