CMS is thrilled to host its second Media Training Workshop led by Sachintha Wickramasinghe, Media Relations Specialist at UBC.
This workshop is designed to help CMS-affiliated faculty and graduate students build confidence in responding to media inquiries, with a focus on interview practice. Participants will take part in mock interviews on migration-related topics, using a practical toolkit. Facilitators will provide feedback, tips, and strategies for handling difficult questions and effectively communicating key messages to non-academic audiences.
Spots are limited.
