Public attention and participation

Communications & Engagement

This team explains the work, reaches the right audiences, and keeps public attention tied to the project’s surveys, findings, and support needs.

Operational Goal

The Communications & Engagement team brings together content, marketing, publicity, public relations, media engagement, outreach, audience development, and the lean logistical work required to carry out these activities.

Going question

How do we communicate what matters and mobilize the people needed to act on it?

The team works cross-functionally with other teams to ensure engagement and amplification are tied to specific project needs, audiences, and actions.

  • Communicating the project’s research, findings, progress, and needs.
  • Publicising surveys, interviews, data-collection activities, and other research exercises.
  • Reaching secondary-school students, university students, graduates, parents, teachers, schools, institutions, and other relevant publics.
  • Encouraging people to complete surveys, contribute their experiences, volunteer, join the project, share its work, or support it.
  • Developing and distributing content across appropriate platforms and formats.
  • Building relationships with journalists, media organisations, creators, communities, and other distribution partners.
