This course is open to academic/research staff and PGR Students.
Visual communication enables us to transcend discipline, ability, language and culture, to connect with diverse audiences and make real change happen. But it’s a skill rarely taught in universities or organisations.
This is why we have commissioned Nifty Fox to run a bespoke training programme to help you tell your research story visually so audiences get, do or fund your ideas.
Course Structure
Each half-day session covers the theory behind the method, practical ‘how tos’ on how to create visuals, drawings or stories, and hands on activities for learners to test their skills.
