Workshop 3: Beyond the Translation: Unraveling the Emotional Side of International PR
As science communicators, we play a vital role in showcasing the impactful research of our institutions. However, oftentimes our responsibilities extend beyond storytelling as members of international public relations teams. During this workshop, we will focus our attention on how to effectively communicate emotions on various kinds of news articles such as award winning announcements, obituaries, emergency notices, etc. Participants will work together to study and craft news articles based on the major differences between western and Japanese ways of communication.
