PPN offers skills workshops to Leitrim community groups

Community and voluntary groups across Leitrim are being offered the chance to develop their communication and presentation skills through free workshops organised by Leitrim Public Participation Network (PPN).

The practical workshops will help community representatives communicate their work with greater confidence, develop compelling stories and case studies, and engage effectively with stakeholders.

The skills workshops, which are free to PPN member groups, will take place on Monday, September 28, from 6.30pm to 9pm at The Barracks in Dromahair, and on Tuesday, September 29, from 10am to 1pm upstairs in Leitrim Development Company, Drumshanbo.

Participants will explore how to identify key audiences, develop stories and case studies, communicate effectively with stakeholders and deliver presentations with confidence and impact.

Practical exercises will give participants an opportunity to put these skills into practice in a supportive environment.

The workshops will be facilitated by PR consultant Adrian Langan, who has extensive experience preparing community leaders, volunteers and organisations for presentations, speeches, interviews and media engagement.

Speaking ahead of the workshops, Mary Mc Keon, Co-ordinator for Leitrim PPN, said: “Community groups across Leitrim are doing outstanding work every day.

“These workshops are about giving volunteers the confidence and practical skills to tell their stories, promote their achievements and represent their organisations with confidence.”
