NCCPE Public Engagement Network and Ambassadors Launch

To celebrate the launch of the NCCPE Public Engagement Network and Ambassadors Scheme we partnered with the Bristol Natural History Consortium to offer three bursaries to the annual Communicate Conference. 

Communicate is the annual conference for environmental communicators from across the UK and Europe, and has been helping to set the agenda in environmental communication since 2003. It attracts a cross-sector of representatives from environmental and conservation organisations, business and CSR, policy makers, media, and national and local government bodies and natural history filmmakers. It will take place on October 21st and October 22nd from 10:00am to 6:00pm.

In 2009 Communicate delegates will be discussing the theme of “Valuing the Invaluable”. In preparation for International Year of Biodiversity in 2010 we’ll be looking at how we can connect audiences with the natural world, and review the most cutting-edge communication techniques.

Bursaries

The partnership would like to congratulate the three successful applicants: Chris Thorogood, Michael Pocock and Penny Fletcher. They attended the conference and will be sharing information on their Ambassadors page for people who couldn't attend.

Don't forget - you can apply to be a PE Ambassador and apply for funding to attend conferences and events too.
