Communication
Whether you want to put across your point of
view or get people around a table to find out what they think, you need
clear and well thought through communications.
Good communication is about messages and audiences: forget either and
you can forget communicating effectively
Walking-the-Talk can help you to:
Plan your communication activites to make the most of the available opportunities, and to create new ones
Deliver the communications you need to get the message across to your chosen audience, at the right time
Evaluate the effectiveness of your communication and help adapt your strategies accordingly
Projects
Walking-the-Talk has practical experience in delivering a wide range of communication activities with different target audiences:
Arran Access Trust: contracted to undertake a feasibility study for paths on the isle of Arran, including stakeholder engagement.
Cairngorms National Park Authority: developing technical guidance for directional signposts and intermediate waymarking within the National Park.
British Council: sub-contracted by the University of the West of England to research and write materials for a Climate Change activity for schools called Map your Future. The materials produced have been incorporated into a conference-based package and will be used by the British Council across the world to highlight the issues relating to Climate Change causes and impacts.
NNR Website for Scottish Natural Heritage: developed site descriptions for 56 National Nature Reserves in Scotland for use on the official NNR website (due to be updated in Summer 2008)
Yummy Science: project management
of an
innovative Science Communication project for National Science and
Engineering Week 2008, having led the successful funding bid to the
Scottish Government. The project was
developed in partnership with the Rowett Institute, Aberdeen and the
Aberdeen Branch of The BA (British Association for the Advancement of
Science) and is a evolution of the original idea for communicating
science to the wider public through the medium of local radio
(available at www.sciencesnaps.co.uk).
Lochaber Forest Disctrict (Forestry Commission Scotland): developed effective signage and waymarking for the Witch's Trails mountain bike trails at Anoch Mor, by the Nevis Range Centre, for the World Mountain Biking Championships in 2007.
7Stanes Project: a signs audit on behalf of the Forestry Commission Scotland. The work involved auditing existing signage at Scotland's premier mountain biking trails and developing a strategic plan for signage as part of Phase II of the EU funded 7Stanes Project.
Paths for All Partnership: wrote the Community Resource Directory. This online resource forms part of the new website that was launched in Autumn 2006.
