Comms for Change

Do you want to help bring about change in the world? Perhaps you’re at the beginning of your career or looking for a purposeful career change? You might be communicating change in your organisation, and you’re looking to upskill. Maybe you’re in need of inspiration and support with what comes next in life, or want to find your voice on topics that matter to you? Or perhaps you’d just like to meet new people and challenge yourself.

Regardless of your stage in life, background, experience to date or age, we believe there’s a place for everyone on our courses. In fact, the differences across the team is one of the things that make our courses such a rich and meaningful experience for participants.

Comms for Change in a Nutshell

Comms for Change is a hands-on course for those who want to promote positive change and ethical initiatives or businesses. You will gain sought after communications skills and experience whilst participating in your local community.  Through helping a local organisation solve a real comms challenge, you will boost your knowledge of, and confidence communicating about complex topics.

Meeting in person and using Edventure’s learning by doing approach, you’ll form a team to develop communications ideas and plans before delivering them. Supported every step of the way, you’ll receive training from industry professionals on core communication skills and knowledge such as understanding your audience, storytelling, making engaging digital content, writing and speaking with impact and a broader understanding of the communications space in general. You’ll also develop your problem solving and team working skills.

Edventure courses are fun, empowering and all about doing.  Leave with evidence of the knowledge and skills you have acquired, with a supportive community around you and feeling like you’ve developed your voice.
