Presented by the Choose Clean Water Coalition and Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, with support from the Chesapeake Legal Alliance and Virginia Conservation Network, this crash course will dive into effective storytelling, crafting presentations, and translating nuanced science and data into a compelling and understandable message.

This training is broken up in three days, with two hours each day. Day one, September 21, will focus on constructing one’s message and story; day two, September 23, on improving delivery to keep an audience engaged; and day three, September 25, on selling your message and inspiring your audience to take action.

Participants are strongly encouraged to attend all three days as each session will build upon each other.
