Release of the WINS Academy Module on Communicating with Civil Society

WINS is delighted to announce the release of its latest WINS Academy Elective Module which focuses on Communicating with Civil Society. The support of such stakeholders, including journalists, politicians and community leaders, is necessary for the successful development and use of nuclear and radioactive materials —whether in industry, medicine or agriculture. When community members trust the organisation and its leaders, the support they provide can be invaluable. However, when distrust and conflict are the norm, protests, negative media coverage, lawsuits and the like can harm an organisation’s reputation, financial performance, and ability to conduct business. Moreover, supportive statements from a third party always carry more weight with the media than anything from the industry itself.

This course is available for purchase here.
