Dear Colleagues,
Please see below for details of a forthcoming training event to be held in Aberdeen on 20 September.
Organised by the ARA Training Group and the Scottish Region, the course will cover various aspects of audience engagement, from producing an exhibition to successfully using social media. This will be a great opportunity to learn from the experiences of colleagues and to start developing some ideas of your own.
The course will be of interest to anybody wishing to explore a variety of methods for outreach. The day is intended to be useful to participants regardless of the scale of their outreach work or the size of the budget available to them.
