Communicating Science to Communities

Description

Futureye’s Communicating Science to Communities program has been developed to assist companies whose business is founded in science and data which most community members wouldn’t understand.
 
This lack of understanding can lead to a wide range of community concerns around potential health risks, environmental impacts and project impacts on property value.
 
This program gives you tools to translate scientific data into concepts and language which communities will understand and be able to engage with.
 
The program also provides you with an introduction to the key principles of risk communication as a foundation for improving your reputation and credibility with communities.
 
Futureye has been training global blue-chip companies and public sector agencies for 10 years a decade to effectively communicate complex scientific jargon and principles to broader communities.
 
Our facilitators deliver thought provoking, useful and dynamic programs that provide you with theoretical and practical foundations, along with great case studies to make these topics real to you.

Learning objectives

The program will give you:

  • Tools to assist you in understanding different audiences and communities
  • Theory and principles that underpin these tools
  • Practical activities that you can use in your daily work to identify audience needs
  • A work book that provides tools, references and methods.

Who should attend

You should attend this program if you are managing a project that requires science to be communicated to specific communities or the general public. You might be a communications manager, a project manager or someone working on the front line with communities.
