CEU’s Human RightS Initiative (HRSI) invites applications for a one–day intensive workshop on PR and Communication at CEU on Saturday, May 28, 10 am – 6 pm.
Description:
This workshop is part of HRSI’s Capacity Building Program, aimed at providing students with practical skills needed to work in the not–for–profit sector. The goals of this PR and Communication workshop are:
-
to equip course participants with tools and knowledge which enable them to create good and strong messages
-
to provide an understanding of how the media can be successfully reached
-
to allow participants to understand the basics of communication within an organization
Why go?
Participants will get a firm understanding of what successful communication within an organization means, what are the good and not so good messages. The workshop will also focus on how to adjust the same message for different target groups, in order to stay effective in reaching a specific target audience. Finally, they will also learn about what types of messages the media considers "news" and how you can best grasp their attention.
