La pédagogie au service de la communication claire et simple

January 17, 2022, Noon Pacific; 3pm EST

Presenters: Laurence Gascon and Isabelle Bourgeois, Éducaloi

You know what plain language is. You may know what pedagogy is. But did you know that pedagogy can help your audience better retain the information you are trying to communicate in plain language?

We invite you to come and talk to an educational consultant and a public legal educator about how their expertise can work together for the benefit of the public … and your business!

The educational objectives of the session are:

  • Learn the key benefits of using pedagogy as part of your clear communication tools and services.
  • Identify techniques and strategies for integrating pedagogy into your clear communication tools and services.

One last point—expect to participate! We look forward to putting the techniques and strategies we share into practice!

Register: watch Eventbrite and LinkedIn for registration details.
