Join us for a discussion about real ways to apply your commitment to equity as a communications and public relations professional.
Stories work. As communicators, we know their power to shift perceptions and behaviour. But how can we use that power for good, particularly when we’re working with large private sector or public sector organizations? At this session, you will learn ways to create space on corporate platforms for traditionally excluded voices, including through tangible approaches such as storytelling guidelines.
