(Wild Rose Chapter, in association with Dialogue Partners) Emotion, Outrage, and Public Participation (Edmonton)

Based on the international best practices of IAP2, and the outrage management strategies of risk communication expert, Dr. Peter Sandman, this course provides a new way of looking at – and dealing with, public outrage. Designed to be highly interactive, EOP2 allows participants to look at outrage and emotion from
their own perspective and experience, and provides practical strategies and new behaviours that can be applied immediately.

Through case studies, video clips, personal reflection and group discussion, this two-day course will help you:
