The Course:
This popular course is regularly updated to take in developing issues
and concerns. It recognises the need to communicate positive futures
as well as significant problems.

You do not need to be an expert or a scientist:you do need to be good
at talking, presenting and listening. Work will be done in small
groups to build your confidence and ensure the course meets your
needs.

The training session will cover:

- Why good communication of climate change is so important.

- Ways to answer the difficult questions around current climate change
issues and data.

- Learn about target audiences, key drivers and current segmentation
methodology.

- Communicating with people in different situations: persuading
colleagues – lobbying situations – talking to friends – working with
business – addressing a large audience.

- Engaging and communicating with diverse organisations.

- Practice delivering persuasive messages and a chance to receive
feedback.

Who should attend this training?
This course is for anyone who is keen to get people active on climate
change. Whether you are a local authority, charity or business
advocating action on climate change, or an individual talking to your
peers, this course will teach you the core skills to effectively get
your message across.

It's all about hot air, isn't it? Hot air, and plenty of it. ;-)

When the world's most powerful and influential politicians,
businessmen, financiers get together, it is fascinating to know what
they are discussing. I found it interesting that one of the more
prominent items on the agenda for this year's meeting of the powerful
and influential Bilderberg Group was ...

...."Global Cooling".
