About the session
'What is your story, and why does it matter?’
This session will give you a fantastic opportunity to practice talking about your research with an experienced producer, reporter, presenter and media trainer.
You’ll create and have the opportunity to record two-minute pitches about your research ideas, and take part in a virtual group interview with the trainer in the style of a mid-morning radio show. You’ll come away having gained skills in communicating a precis of ideas to new audiences, and will have the space to reflect on the process involved in doing so. This is a great opportunity to develop your communication skills in a supportive environment with an expert in the field.
You’ll be put into either a morning or afternoon session so that you can work with the trainer in a smaller group.
About the trainer
“I'm a producer, reporter, presenter and media trainer, starting in local newspapers then spending ten years in BBC news. I worked first in Manchester, then launched Five Live Breakfast, before moving on to the BBC World Service and World Service TV.
I worked in music radio for 15 years, winning many awards reviving the BBC Radio Ballads and crossing America, Asia, Africa and Europe making documentaries for the BBC World Service, 5-Live, Radio 4 and Radio 2.
Now I teach a new generation how to hone their skills as journalists, do media consultancy work as a specialist trainer, and am working on an oral history of the 15th Latvian Division in Pomerania between January and May 1945 - a key moment in the Latvian diaspora in the US, Canada, Australia, Germany and the UK.” http://www.vincenthunt.co.uk/
