Risk Communication Course

Risk communication is an interdisciplinary practice of behaviour, context, and dialogue. Unlike the short term, acute strategy of crisis communication, risk communication is a long term, ongoing system designed to protect individual, social, and environmental health with credible messaging.

Introduction to Risk Communication explores the design and dissemination of information for increased trust and compliance, while reducing anxiety.

In addition to the implications for application presented by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the course draws from a spectrum of best practice cases including food safety, seatbelt, and climate change campaigns with compelling communication outcomes. This course is covered by the ASEAN subsidy for eligible participants.
