Testimonials from participants:
“This course has put my research into a better perspective, by making me analyse and understand the target audience better”.
“I liked the structure of the course. The beginning was not overwhelming and the activities were achievable in the time given”.
“The course was held online in a way that made it feel natural. I really like that an output is created in a day, instead of training us and then having us spend weeks on it instead of getting to our other work. And I really appreciated how the time was managed and kept to”.
“Very engaging course that adds value to our work”.
“My science communication journey would not have been possible without the training from Jive Media Africa that taught me that the impact of our work is not only measured by its scientific merit but by its influence on society”.
