Communicating scientific or health-related topics is never simple. Between technical data, evolving recommendations, and diverse audiences, the risk of misunderstanding or misinformation is high. Yet clear and accessible messages can strengthen trust, improve understanding, and support informed action.
Through practical tools and hands-on workshops, you will learn how to make scientific and health information clearer, more reliable, and better adapted to your audiences.
Day 1
Understanding your audience and their needs
Structuring complex information into clear and trustworthy messages
Day 2
Verifying, contextualizing, and strengthening message credibility
Collaborating with experts for maximum impact
Each module includes practical exercises and real case studies, along with concrete tools and resources to support the integration of new skills.
This training is designed for communication professionals who, without being scientists or health experts, play a key role in translating complex information into clear, accessible, and high-impact messages.
