CSDI’s Policy Communications Clinic (CPCC) workshops aim to make policy communications more approachable. They are 90-minute interactive sessions on different genres and how to use communication as an advocacy tool.
Participants will learn how to create and disseminate effective and inclusive policy products. We will conduct these workshops in a hybrid format for maximum accessibility. Some core questions of the Policy Communications Workshops include:
- The objectives of policy communication
- How to understand which kind of product is appropriate for your objectives
- How to identify the right audiences for your products
- Writing style guidance and tips
CSDI will manage and conduct an integrated series of workshops across UBC to help students, faculty, and staff communicate their research effectively to stakeholders for policy change. Each workshop will have 2 versions – one for a ‘sciences’ audience and one for a ‘social sciences and humanities’ audience.
