This one-day module in IAP2’s Certificate Program in Public
Participation offers an overview of the communication skills used by
public participation practitioners. The course provides an introduction
to communication skills and models. It introduces the Principles of
Authentic Communications and focuses on tools used to prepare and
present information materials in a variety of forms, small and large
group interaction models and facilitation essentials.
This course is designed as a primer and is suitable for beginning to
intermediate level practitioners and those who want a review of basic
communication techniques. Interactive exercises and practical tips are
used to enliven the basic theory and reference materials presented
throughout the day and reinforce skills that participants can put to
immediate use. Participants learn the elements needed to prepare
communication plans and to practice active listening. They gain an
understanding of the essentials of risk communication, making effective
written and verbal presentations and working with mass media.
Note: The Planning for Effective Public Participation module is a prerequisite for this course.
