WORKSHOP: Producing Reports For the Public Interest

Volunteer Coordinator May 11, 2015 May 11, 2015

Wednesday May 13, 5:30-7:30pm

University Centre (UC) 103, University of Guelph

NGO’s, Governments, Corporations, and Lobby groups release professionally-produced reports constantly in a bid to sway public opinion, get press coverage, legitimize their activities, pressure decision-makers, and generate support for their agenda. Grassroots social justice movements can use this tool as well! This workshop will go over the basics of how to use InDesign software to produce a fancy and professional-looking report. As well as tips for what to include in a report, how to best distribute an official report, and case-studies of grassroots reports being highly-effective tools in social and environmental justice campaigns.

Presented by Sakura Saunders.

FREE! snacks provided.

OPIRG Guelph is located on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron/Chonnonton, the Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples and the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize the significance of the Dish with One Spoon Covenant to this land and offer our respect and gratitude to all of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island who have stewarded, loved & defended this land for centuries.

In stating this, we acknowledge that we are here as a result of blood that has been shed through colonization, which continues to be the lived experience of Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. Colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to be accountable for our present participation in that process.
