Video workshop proves hit with FirePRO members
In the last issue we announced an exciting programme of events to further build on the outcomes of last year's annual conference.
A video skills workshop has already taken place in Birmingham, attended by more than 20 different fire and rescue services, and delivered by Comms2Point0.
The one-day event, organised by FirePRO and hosted by West Midlands FRS, aimed to meet a growing demand for video content to help us share our messages with public and staff. The feedback from the event was overwhelmingly positive, with 86% rating it as ‘very good’ and a big demand for more training events like this to be staged in the future. We also hope to share videos from those who attended at this year’s conference.
Internal comms workshop set for September
Following hot on the heels of the FirePRO video skills workshop, the next FirePRO event will be an internal communications masterclass.
Internal comms (IC) was one of the areas you told us you would love to cover at the FirePRO conference last year.
So we have teamed up with IC experts Alive with Ideas and again this workshop will be open to all FirePRO members free of charge.
The date and venue are just being finalised and full details of the day and how to sign up will be release soon so keep your eyes on the CFOA FirePRO portal and your emails.
FirePRO Conference 2016 - don't forget the date!
