Practical media skills for community groups, from writing press releases and radio interviews to making the most of social media.

Join our Digital and Media Skills workshop that is part of the Connecting Clare Communities training and mentoring programme.

Drawing on decades of journalism experience, media professional Peter O’Connell will share practical advice on how community groups can make their voices heard, engage the public and communicate their work effectively.

The workshop will cover:

Understanding the evolving media landscape.

Writing an effective press release.

The basics of radio interviewing.

Creating engaging messages for the public.

Adapting content for different social media platforms.

Whether you want to promote an event, raise awareness of your group's work or reach a wider audience, you will come away with practical skills and ideas to put into action.

The workshop is free and open to all community groups and individual volunteers across County Clare.

Connecting Clare Communities is delivered by Clare Local Development Company in association with Levie Consulting and funded through the LEADER Programme.
