You saw the Liberties’ guide on applying values-based framing in communications – now join us to workshop how to address policymakers and the public during the COVID-19 global emergency.
This interactive training event, which is six hours in duration over two days, will arm participants with tools on how to talk about human rights during COVID-19. It will cover how to communicate proactively during the pandemic, why and how human rights can be useful tools to push through the pandemic, which values to put at the centre of communication and how to “reach” people in this uncertain period of human history.
Participants will be asked for details of their specific organisations such that the session’s instructor can assist participants with their specific narrative/COVID-19 communication-related challenges.
