Part of Helpful Digital
The session will cover:
A three hour simulation exercise using Social Simulator’s innovative C90 software to lead participants through a realistic and intense crisis scenario, paired with Judy Pal’s industry-leading best practices training.
Participants will receive a round of training, followed by working in teams to tackle a phase of the simulation exercise, and a short debrief. This will repeat for additional best practice training, simulation phases, and debrief, allowing for ample best practice sharing and Q&A.
Participants will receive a digital certificate of participation and key related communications resources and training materials.
