Message Box Practice Session

Working on a Message Box? Looking for some feedback? Come join us for a practice session!

Sometimes it can be a challenge to find practice partners to provide feedback on your messages. That’s why COMPASS staff facilitate these practice sessions for anyone who would like to practice and receive feedback on their Message Box. Bring your draft Message Box and be prepared to walk the group through your key messages and get feedback from others. Please plan to attend the full one-hour session so that you can both give and receive feedback!

Please note this is not a workshop. Previous experience with the Message Box is expected. If you want to learn how to use the Message Box and gain a stronger understanding of the science behind science communication, please check out our Introduction to Strategic Science Communication workshops.

This workshop is open to anyone who has taken a workshop with us in the past, is familiar with the Message Box, and would like an opportunity to practice and receive feedback from COMPASS staff and peers.

The workshop will be held on the video conferencing platform Zoom. If you are unfamiliar with the platform, this one-minute video explains how to join a meeting. You will need a webcam, microphone, and stable internet connection. Recommended upload/download speed is 5Mbps/5Mbps. Test your internet speed here by clicking “run speed test."
