Topic Support Network: Promoting Positive Behaviour

23rd Oct 2012 10:00 – 15:30

Background

This topic support network was established in summer 2010 to develop a network of interest in promoting positive behaviour across the HE and FE sector. Achieving long-term changes in the behaviours of individuals is a vital part of sustainable development and we look at how to unlock pro-social and pro-environmental behaviours amongst individuals within institutions. Universities and colleges have a prime opportunity to engage in this area due to the thousands of students that pass through their doors each year.

Event Summary

Communications and engagement masterclass, delivered by Joesph Farthing, Communications Specialist for University of Edinburgh and Transition Edinburgh University.

This practical, hands on workshop will give you the skills to succeed in the difficult field of community-based engagement for behaviour change.

Joe will take you from your key aim(s) and develop a tailored communications and engagement solution to match your situation. Joe will advise on how you can set up your own systems to monitor and improve your campaign and to meet your goals.

What to bring: All you need for this training is an idea for a campaign or message that you would like to see developed at your institution.

After lunch there will be the opportunity to share your experiences with the group and learn from others activities within their institution.
