Science Communication Online Building Blocks - Engaging Participants in Online and Blended Environments
Join UWE Bristol’s Science Communication Unit for a three-part online training session to improve your confidence, knowledge and enjoyment of these possibly unfamiliar spaces of engagement.
Has your project shifted online due to the COVID-19 pandemic? Do you need to digital upskill but have yet to find the time? Want to learn from others who are in the same boat?
Join UWE Bristol’s Science Communication Unit for a three-part online training session to improve your confidence, knowledge and enjoyment of these possibly unfamiliar spaces of engagement. Over three short sessions, plus one short networking event, we’ll build a community to safely explore the technology we can draw from, the existing skills we can already build on and come up with our own plan for delivering engagement in online and blended environments.
Course fee is £150 per person.
