Rhetoric, advocacy and public speaking

We off­er practical and ef­fective linguistic tools to organize and maintain social groups, construct meanings and identities, coordinate behavior, mediate power and produce change. We embrace community engagement and open conversations that include polyphonic elements and inquiry.

You have the chance to use different strategies and models of communication such as topic analysis, argument building, framing the discussion, critically analysing arguments and responding. We support you as you create arguments and speak your mind.

This is a process of experiential learning where you acquire skills and tools while you work on challenges facing your organisation. Participants receive a toolkit of practical and transferable methods.
