SUMMARY:Introduction to Risk Communication
DESCRIPTION:Prepare to communicate risk effectively and compassionately.\n\n\n\nEvery day\, we all make decisions that require us to consider risk\, but it can be challenging to communicate risk to others in compassionate\, meaningful ways. We know more than ever about how risk information is processed in the brain\, and applying those insights to our risk communication will help our audiences better understand risk and make more informed decisions about their health\, safety\, and the environment. \nDo you need to communicate risk effectively and strategically to others from a scientific perspective? If your work has any implications for decision-making\, we believe the answer is yes. Whether it’s letting people know about a red tide beach closure or translating technical information for community planning\, effective risk communication can improve comprehension and decision making while building relationships in the process. \nIn this 3-hour virtual workshop\, you’ll \n\ngain a deeper understanding of the science behind risk communication;\ndraft a plan for communicating risk around a topic that’s important for you;\npractice revising a key risk message to be more meaningful\, compassionate\, and actionable for your particular audience; and\nreceive feedback on your message from peers and trainers.\n\nThe workshop will include a combination of content presentation\, group activities\, group discussion\, and paired activities in breakout rooms. By registering for this workshop\, you are committing to active participation in the workshop\, for the benefit of both yourself and the group. Please also plan to use a webcam whenever possible during discussion and breakout room portions of the workshop. Due to the progression of materials presented and the paired exercises\, we cannot admit participants who are more than 15 minutes late. \n\n\nWho could benefit from this workshop?\nThis workshop is open to science professionals who are familiar with the COMPASS Message Box and would like to learn how to improve their risk communication skills. \n\n\nTechnology\nThe workshop will be held on the video conferencing platform Zoom. If you are unfamiliar with the platform\, this one-minute video explains how to join a meeting. You will need a webcam\, microphone\, and stable internet connection. Recommended upload/download speed is 5Mbps/5Mbps. Test your internet speed here by clicking “run speed test.” This workshop will also incorporate the browser-based whiteboard program called MURAL.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Strategic Communication
DESCRIPTION:Learn tools and strategies to help you understand how to effectively communicate with diverse audiences in this 3 hr interactive workshop. \n\nGood communicators are made\, not born. But through training\, practice\, and feedback\, we can all become more strategic and effective communicators\, no matter where we are currently. Grounded in science communication research and practice\, this interactive virtual workshop is an opportunity to practice communicating strategically about something that matters to you. Over the course of three hours\, COMPASS trainers guide you through techniques and tools that help you prepare for strategic communication\, then support you as you put what you’ve learned into practice through facilitated group discussions and activities with other participants in breakout rooms. By the end of the workshop\, you will have: \n\nA stronger understanding of the science behind science communication\nExperience using the Message Box\, COMPASS’s signature tool for breaking down complex topics into digestible\, effective messages\nA draft COMPASS Message Box of your own\, on a topic of your choosing\nFeedback on your draft messages\n\nBy registering for this workshop\, you are committing to active participation in the workshop\, for the benefit of both yourself and the group. Please also plan to use a webcam whenever possible during discussion and breakout room portions of the workshop. Due to the progression of materials presented and the paired exercises\, we cannot admit participants who are more than 15 minutes late. More information can be found in the FAQ page on our website. \nWho could benefit from this workshop?\nThis workshop is open to anyone who would like to build their strategic science communication skills. Because of COMPASS’s mission\, the majority of participants who have been involved with our workshops are professional researchers\, scientists\, and science users whose work focuses on the environment\, and many of our examples draw from this work. However\, this workshop is suitable for anyone seeking to make their communication efforts more strategic and relevant for their audience. Becoming a better communicator is a practice\, not a destination; wherever you are on your journey\, this workshop will provide you with an opportunity to practice communicating strategically about something that matters to you.

SUMMARY:Strategic Communication for Social Scientists
DESCRIPTION:Learn tools and strategies to help you effectively communicate your social science with diverse audiences. \nAs more people realize how interconnected people and the environment are\, there is a growing need and opportunity for social scientists to engage with others about their work. And yet\, translating social science findings into clear\, concise\, and compelling messages without losing the depth of their explanatory power is difficult. But like any skill\, through training\, practice\, and feedback\, we can all become more strategic and effective social science communicators. Grounded in science communication research and practice\, this interactive virtual workshop will help you gain tools and skills to strategically communicate your work to diverse audiences. Over the course of three hours\, COMPASS trainers guide you through techniques and tools that help you communicate your work in a meaningful and understandable way that can resonate with your audience. The workshop will also provide opportunities for you to put into practice what you learn through facilitated group discussions and small group feedback activities. By the end of this workshop\, you will have: \n\nA stronger understanding of how to build a meaningful connection with your audiences\nExperience using the Message Box\, COMPASS’s signature tool for breaking down complex topics into digestible\, effective messages\nA draft COMPASS Message Box of your own\, on a topic of your choosing\nA draft metaphor or example that helps your audience understand an abstract idea or process.\nFeedback on your draft messages and metaphor/example.\n\nBy registering for this workshop\, you are committing to active participation in the workshop\, for the benefit of both yourself and the group. Please also plan to use a webcam whenever possible during discussion and breakout room portions of the workshop. Due to the progression of materials presented and the paired exercises\, we cannot admit participants who are more than 15 minutes late. More information can be found in the FAQ page on our website. \nWho could benefit from this workshop?\nWe’ve designed this workshop to meet the communication needs of those who use social science methods and approaches to understand social phenomena\, but it is open to anyone who would like to build their strategic communication skills. Given our mission at COMPASS\, the majority of participants who have been involved with our workshops are professional researchers\, scientists\, and science users whose work focuses on the environment\, and many of our examples draw from this work. However\, this workshop is suitable for anyone seeking to make their communication efforts more strategic and relevant for their audience.
