In a world of viral tweets and social media influencers, the past is getting swept under the rug. The work of cultural resource management (CRM) firms is often relegated to gray literature, a checked box before breaking ground. Nevertheless, our efforts reveal powerful human stories with the power to inspire, to educate, to bring change. This webinar provides a virtual “bootcamp” that offers baseline training in the principles of storytelling, photography, videography, public speaking, and social media. Not only will participants leave with a better understanding of the benefits of meaningful public outreach in CRM, but the skillset to try it out on their own.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the five principles of storytelling;
  • Understand the mechanics of capturing quality photography;
  • Understand the mechanics of capturing quality video;
  • Learn how to give an informative and engaging presentation for a technical audience;
  • Learn how to give a public talk for a general audience;
  • Learn how to share content on social media.

Note: This webinar will occur on Eastern Time
