Advocacy Strategy: Knowledge Exchange Workshop
Advocacy Strategy: Knowledge Exchange Workshop
This workshop will be led by Mike Podmore, CEO of STOPAIDS and visiting fellow, and Meg Davis, Professor of Digital Health and Rights, from the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies (CIM). It draws on real-life cases and provides a hands-on introduction to advocacy strategy planning: including analysing power, identifying achievable goals, developing a problem-driven research agenda, and crafting a theory of change that participants can use to guide their own project plans. The workshop facilitators will provide tools and worksheets for later use.
The workshop is open to all academic staff and PGR students, and will be of special interest to those working in international development, sustainability, global health, climate change, and other areas of policy impact.
The session will cover:
- Advocacy strategy – core concepts
- The theory of change
- Long-term vision and milestones
- Risk and assumptions
- Analysing power and messaging
Participants are asked to come prepared with two print-outs of a one-sentence vision statement that answers the question: “As a result of your project, how will the world have changed by 2044?”
Date: Tuesday 22 October 2024
Time: 14:00 - 15:30
Location: Oculus, OC0.01
This event is open to academic staff and PGR students.

Get Involved – Do you want to share your passion for Social Science with the public?
On Saturday 26 October, the Warwick Institute of Engagement will be heading to the Royal Pump Rooms in Leamington Spa for a collaborative event to celebrate Social Science. As part of a collaboration with the ESRC Festival of Social Science, staff and students are invited to deliver a range of drop-in activities linked to any Social Science discipline or related activity. Examples could include a hands-on tabletop activity, a workshop, a video, a read a-long for children in the library, or even a creative way to engage with the exhibitions at the venue. We can help you create your activity (for an audience of all ages, with many aged 5-11 years), rehearse and source any kit you might need. If you have a piece of research or knowledge you’d like to share, get in touch and we’ll help with the rest! Express your interest here.
