At the beginning of this year I took over from Emma Leech as Chair of the CIPR’s Education and Skills sector group. In April we’ll be holding a couple of events that I think will interest some of the readers of this blog, so I thought I’d share some info about them here (I’m chairing both events):

On the evening of Wednesday 14 April we’ll be hooking up PROs from the education and skills sector with relevant journalists at our ‘Speed Meet a Journalist’ event. We’ll kick off with a discussion with the journalist and then allow plenty of time for networking. This event takes place at Goldsmiths, University of London.

Then on Wednesday 21 April we’re heading up to the University of Nottingham for a Creating Video Podcasts Masterclass. This will be a full day of training with lots of practical hints and tips from the award-winning team at Nottingham.

For further information about both events, you can view the latest Group newsletter here (issued to members of the CIPR Education and Skills Sector Group). I hope to see some of you at the events.
