We offer fees-free media training workshops for Pacific researchers. Apply below.
The overall aim is to increase the visibility of Pacific researchers and impacts from their work in both mainstream and Pacific media outlets.
Supported by Fofonga for Pacific Research Excellence (University of Auckland), AUT Pacific Health Research Centre, and the Nofo ā kāinga – Pacific Health Academic Staff Network (AUT), these sessions offer Pacific researchers the chance to discuss shared issues and exchange perspectives in a supportive setting.
Researchers will have opportunities to meet and interact with media and will upskill their practical and strategic communication skills, covering similar skills to our Science Media SAVVY workshops.
- Two-day workshop
- Entry is by selection
- Established and emerging Pacific researchers from all fields are welcome to apply
- Limit of 12 per workshop
Ideally suited for researchers with previous media experience seeking further development of their skills, and beginners anticipating media interest in their work.
