Information & Communication Seminar
The main aim of the Information & Communication Seminar is to help projects formulate a successful communication strategy. The Programme Secretariat believes that project outcomes can only become viable if projects are successful at promoting these outcomes to the relevant target audiences (end users). The Information & Communication Seminar will be facilitated by the international PR Company Pinnacle.
Participation and fee
Participation for this event is mandatory for all main projects. The fee for this event will be €800 per project, and includes buffet lunches and refreshments. All projects will be invoiced regardless of participation. In addition, all participants are expected to cover their own travel and accommodation costs.
We expect each project to attend with a project coordinator and a project communication officer. Projects that wish to have more than 2 participants need to contact the Programme Secretariat to ensure that a seat is available.
What to expect?
Participants should expect an intensive and interactive seminar that will consist of the following:
- Trainer led briefing on strategic communications
- Interactive workshops in small groups lead by trainers
- The workshops will be structured so as to encourage participants to brainstorm ideas and share best practice and give collaborative feedback
- Trainers will challenge participants to define the products and service aspect of their projects and how these fit with their local markets.
- Plenary discussion and feedback and review of learning points
- Trainers will lead plenary sessions and highlight example of good practice. The aim is to summarise key points from the workshop sessions and feedback recommendations into action planning.
- Action planning sessions in small groups with trainers and members of the NPP secretariat
- A comprehensive communications handbook available in print, USB key and online for participants to use with their teams.
- Qualified and experienced Pinnacle trainers
