Clear Communication Workshops: Teaching Techniques to Spark Enthusiasm in Organizations with Guillaume Rondeau and Isabelle Bourgeois of Educaloi
Before thinking about implementing any plain language program or in-house standards, organisations need a clear communication spark to ignite a cultural change. That spark must ignite both the management team and the staff. To this end, participatory teaching techniques are very powerful tools.
As legal plain language trainers and consultants, we participated in a 30+ workshop sprint over the last year. We had the opportunity to test different approaches and get feedback from participants. We now want to share our best practices in terms of impactful clear communication workshops, both regarding our recent sprint and our many other experiences as trainers.
What you will learn from this workshop:
- Ways to ignite a cultural change considering the organisation’s overall context.
- An outline of how adults learn new skills.
- Which teaching techniques to use in order to create highly participatory workshops.
- How to personalize and adapt the workshop and the educational resources to participants’ needs and objectives. How to prevent and deal with resistance among participants.
You can also watch the other pre-conference workshop “How to Produce a Comic-style Document” here: https://www.crowdcast.io/e/AFAFreeWorkshop
