Modern scientists need to be able to communicate with non-experts about their scientific work, in order to increase their societal impact and to further their career. These non-experts may be industry, civilians, farmers, patients, policy makers, journalists or even colleagues. Targeted storytelling has a positive effect on networking, on your cooperation with multidisciplinary colleagues and on writing grants and presenting science.
In this workshop you will practice choosing specific messages and stories for specific target groups. The participants interview each other and help each other filter out the most important elements. We test the quality of your story using the 6 Cs. We help you embellish it with strong metaphors, one-liners and examples.
We will put our stories to work with the help of a professional training actor: How can you apply this in the interaction with the non-experts around you? How do you keep people interested? How do you avoid misinterpretation? How can you deal with various types of questions? How can you leave out nuances but still tell a truthful but concise story?
Learn how to be able to convey inspiring stories about your work to any audience!
