Communication 2.0: How to Communicate for Behaviour Change
Pulling back the curtain on what works and doesn’t work when you want to change behaviour
Communicating effectively is essential – not just for the P&E we create for our residents but for working collaboratively within staff teams, with contractors, with stakeholders and with our councilors. In all cases effective communications is the starting point on the road to success.
Communications 2.0 is designed for all municipal and First Nations staff who are involved in Blue Box Programing. This course explores the fundamental principles of effective communication and aims to help participants learn and practice approaches that influence attitudes and change behaviour. Regardless of the department you work in, this course offers information you will use daily.
Drawing on adult learning principles and the science of behaviour change, Adult Education Specialist, Betty Muise will offer information and resources addressing topics that include:
- Are we communicating as effectively as possible?
- What does neuroscience and psychological research tell us about the human mind that can help us communicate persuasively?
- How do people change and adopt new behaviours and how can this understanding enhance your communications?
Participants will have the opportunity to apply and practice the principles and techniques of adult learning and behaviour change to recycling and waste management communication challenges.
Space is limited; please register to attend, free of charge, today.
