Develop your influence in the public arena
Our practice-based training programmes are designed for professionals who want to strengthen their knowledge and skills in advocacy, lobbying and strategic communication. In addition to open programmes, we provide tailored learning programmes and in-company training for organisations that want to develop their employees into effective advocates, trusted discussion partners and coalition builders.
Participants in our open training programmes come from the business community, government, politics, civil society organisations, knowledge institutions and the media. They work in roles such as advocates, communication advisers, press officers, public leaders, elected representatives, journalists, academics and students.
Advocates
A significant part of our programme offering is tailored to advocates. They operate daily in national, regional, local or European political and administrative arenas. We support them by helping them deepen their knowledge and strengthen their professional skills.
Communication professionals
Communication and public affairs often go hand in hand. This is why public affairs professionals are frequently part of communication teams. Both disciplines focus on developing and communicating the right message, tailored to a specific audience and context. Public affairs has its own dynamics, its own playing field and its own rules, in which strategic communication is essential.
Academia
Science and research are essential to knowledge exchange. We collaborate with academic partners to deepen our knowledge of the field and continue to broaden our perspective. We also regularly organise sessions for academics themselves, creating opportunities to exchange ideas on the intersection of policy, media and research.
For anyone interested in the democratic playing field
But we are also here for a wider audience interested in the forces that shape democracy. Whether it is the role of think tanks, the power of storytelling or the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence: the public interest affects us all. That is why we also organise election events, thematic sessions, book discussions and interview evenings with key figures from current affairs.
