"[T]raining that worked" is a bit on the vague side. Your original message seems to be about media training, maybe even training for the media. In other words, working in or with the media. Media folks are in a minority here. Most of us huddle in self-support groups elsewhere. I assume that you have already talked to Brian Trench, the grand old person of science communication in Ireland. He is one of the tiny handful of people who have made the transition from hack to PEST. I'm sure that he has run more than enough media courses to keep him entertained.

Maybe this didn't send probably, or maybe it is cos I is Irish, but one last shot - is there nobody here who had sci-comms training that worked? Activity suggestions really welcome. Thanks!

I am putting on a few science communication workshops here and while I already have the programme set up, I am always looking to improve and apply best practice. For that reason, I would love to know if there were any particular ideas or tasks that you have found really engaging or effective recently? Did something really click with your class? Particularly looking for physical or group activities as opposed to topics. Some of the participants will be doing the workshop because it is mandatory, so any tips on how to win people round to participating? We will be doing: Mock interviews What it says in the papers Creative language and metaphors - any activity ring a bell here? A bit of theory Talking about different ways and media to communicate science How the media works Pitching your ideas Crafting your story Three message rule Preparing for an interview But as I say, always open to something new, better or unusual!
