Who: Being Human Festival, the UK’s national festival of the humanities (every year for a week of events in November)
The brief: Deliver an online learning session as part of the Festival’s programme of workshops for researchers and engagement teams partnering with voluntary sector / culture sector organisations, to put on events showcasing their research during the festival week. The topic: “working with partners for public engagement events”.
What I did: Drawing on existing knowledge and resources on collaboration and partnerhsip working, I did some additional research specifically on… the research sector, and built an interactive presentation around:
- finding partners
- building relationships
- working together
There were approximatly 50 participants on the call, generating lots of activity in the chat, and engaging with the content and the questions I put to them.
What they said:
“Thank you again for yesterday’s training session. It was really good – informative and thoughtful!”~ Jessica Gray, Public Engagement Officer, Being Human Festival (University of London School of Advanced Study)
“Thank you for the insightful presentation and answers!” “That was incrediby helpful, I will revisit the recording.” “I feel more motivated to keep going now.” ~ various participants in the chat
Also someone said they appreciated how beautiful my slides were, which is a always nice because I do put some effort into my presentations !
