We are delighted to be able to offer you the opportunity to do some broadcast interview training with award-winning journalist Rachel Shabi!

• A media and communications workshop designed to ensure that, the next time you address a rolling camera, an audience or an interview panel, you’re fully equipped to get your message across. This session covers a range of tips, techniques and broadcast skills including: engaging your audience and messaging; a quick formula for message prep; taking control of your interview; tackling nervousness; communicating academic research to a wider audience and building confidence and presence.
• The half-day workshop will be offered as an online course, on June 22. The full day workshop will take place ‘in real life‘ at 1 Priory Road (SWDTP offices) on 29 June.

FULL DAY workshop:
