— Gain sought-after skills, supported by industry professionals

— Work with a local organisation to solve a real comms challenge and boost your knowledge of, and confidence in communicating about complex topics

— Leave with comms experience to draw on, a supportive community around you and feeling like you've developed your voice

The course will be held at the Edventure Hub in Frome and will run on Thursdays from 9.15 to 2.45pm starting 10 October and ending 27 March. The course will not run during school or public holidays. More info on the website here.

You will meet in person and, using Edventure's learning by doing approach, you'll form a team to develop communications ideas and plans before delivering them. Supported every step of the way, you'll receive training from industry professionals on core communication skills and knowledge such as understanding your audience, storytelling, making engaging digital content, writing and speaking with impact and a broader understanding of the communications space in general. You'll also develop your problem solving and team working skills. 

Your challenge will be set by Green and Healthy Frome, a programme creating positive change in Frome through focusing on the links between our environment and our well-being – on climate and health. After the course, you will be better equipped to communicate about social and environmental purpose in your chosen area of work.

The course is possible thanks to funding from the National Lottery Climate Action Fund.
