On December 14, The Ukrainian chapter of the global anti-corruption organization Transparency International will hold a workshop “Tips for Effective Communication: How Can You Make Yourself Heard?” in Mariupol as part of the national campaign “I Don’t Bribe.” During the workshop participants will learn about the communication aspect of advocacy campaigns in regions and communication tools used in political and civic environment. Namely, those used for communication between governmental bodies and local communities.

This workshop is a good opportunity to receive information that interests you from the practitioners with successful experience in communication campaigns, who work in Kyiv and elsewhere.
