[Public-engagement] In the Limelight - new training opportunity for UoN research staff

[Maria Richards]

Dear Colleagues

The Institute for Policy and Engagement together with Lakeside Arts are excited to announce the launch of In the Limelight, a new public engagement training programme for UoN research staff.  Over the course of a month, with mentoring from a team of experts,  you will learn how to develop an idea for a live session and deliver this from the Djanogly Theatre stage.  The performance will be recorded with support from a full technical crew and broadcast on a platform that best suits your intended audience.

This represents an incredible opportunity to share your research with the public and continue to connect at a time when face to face engagement is not possible.
