Creating Connections introduces researchers to the science of science communication. Through the Alda Method® participants learn core principles of responsive listening and empathic communication. Participants begin to identify ways to build trust and engage others with their work.
This program can be delivered to small or large groups, from a research team to a large conference.
Serves up to 20 Participants | 3 Hours
The Essentials offers participants foundational skills and strategies for effective science communication through the Alda Method®. Participants also benefit from peer and expert feedback as they begin to create and deliver messages about their science.
This program offers a taste of our Signature Science Communication Experience. It is also a part of our Foundational Virtual Series.
Serves up to 20 Participants | Three Sequential Modules | 3 Hours Each
The Foundational Virtual Series brings together three modules to offer participants a deeper understanding and progressive application of core science communication strategy and skills. Each module builds on another and leverages the Alda Method® throughout. A cohort of participants from your organization will learn and experiment with the fundamentals of effective science communication.
Module 1: The Essentials offers participants foundational skills and strategies for effective science communication. Participants learn core principles of responsive listening and empathic communication, and begin to identify ways to build trust and engage others with their work.
Module 2: Small Group Coaching - Participants apply lessons from The Essentials and practice talking about their work to non-expert audiences. Through peer and expert feedback, participants refine and improve their messages in a supportive, intimate session (participants are split into separate sessions of 10 max).
Module 3: Science Through Narrative - Building on the skills and strategies of The Essentials and Small Group Coaching modules, participants learn to create memorable and engaging narratives about their research using storytelling structures and techniques.
This series is designed for a cohort of up to 20 participants to experience each session in sequence.
Custom Virtual Programming allows you flexibility in learning objectives, content, time, and the number of participants you wish to serve. Alda Center experts will collaborate with your team to create an Alda Method® program that best suits your organization's unique needs.
