Communicating Change is a new workshop format for early career communications professionals to learn from and engage with each other, on practical solutions, insights and experiences while communicating across a range of complex topics, including but not limited to climate change, scientific research, conservation, reshaping economics, public health, policy, systems analysis and climate action.
In the first edition, we will have Patricia Akpo Uyeh and Giovanna Galvani sharing their experiences in a conversation on Storytelling for climate communications and action.
This is an engagement space to learn and grow as communications professionals in connected but unique roles. The presentations by Akpo Uyeh and Galvani will be followed by an open discussion where everyone is free to ask questions or share insights and practical wins from their own communications work. Hosted by the communications team at The Club of Rome, this is a space for mutual learning on communicating complexity.
