2. Defining the Key Messages
What are key messages? How and when do you use them? Planning an advocacy strategy.
3. Communicating the Message
What to say, and how to use media: using media strategy, letter to the editor, the Op-Ed, responding to the press and when to call the press.
4. Talking to Government
The ten second message, the five minute message. Inviting them or going to their office: how to get the meeting, who to take, what to say and following protocol.
