Advocacy in Action Short Courses

The Public Health Advocacy Institute is running a series of hands on advocacy courses in Broome, Bunbury and Esperance.

 

If you have ever wondered how advocacy could value add to your project or campaign, this is the course for you! The 2 and 3 day courses will be interactive and skills-based program and have been designed to provide you with a broad understanding of the role, uses and benefits of using an advocacy approach to promote better outputs from your programs.

 

The short course will focus on the eight stages of the PHAI advocacy model and a range of teaching methods will be employed, including theory, case studies and group activities. Each participant will leave the short course having identified, planned and pitched an advocacy program that addresses a locally identified need. These needs will be identified by the group and a consensus building exercise will be used to select up to six specific issues for participants to select from. On completion of the course, participants will have gained the skills necessary to advocate for individuals and groups within their community using prove methods to affect change.

 

The Broome and Esperance courses will be 2 days in duration. The Bunbury course will be a three-day workshop and include a full day of media skills with Deb Bishop.

 

Partners for these courses are Healthway, Hope Community Services and Curtin University.
