Course day (in German)

In our hands-on course, you will learn how to communicate about biodiversity in a respectful, convincing and conversational way - even with people who have different perspectives. You will develop your personal presentation skills, practise dealing with critical questions and strengthen your ability to build bridges between different points of view.

Format and conditions of participation

The course day is designed to be interactive with practical exercises, time for reflection and genuine exchange. This course day is a product of the "Communication on Biodiversity" working group.

It is important to us that we create a format that brings real added value to the participants. We will therefore ask the participants to give us in-depth feedback at the end of the course so that we can further develop the course for future implementation.

The course day will be held once in Zurich and once in Bern in German. The course fee is CHF 200. Registration is binding. In preparation, we ask participants to watch our webinar series "Bringing biodiversity into the conversation".

Goals

  • Participants gain more confidence in conversation and more impact in communication.

  • We are creating a course format that provides biodiversity professionals with valuable skills for their day-to-day work.
