Policy texts long-winded? That's not necessary! Readers of policy texts want a concise, easy-to-read text that meets their information needs. But how do you write such a policy text? Many advice and policy texts are too extensive and not clear. Long sentences and passive style often make the content less accessible. The two-day training in Writing Policy Texts offers you practical tools for writing concise and convincing advice and policy texts with a clear structure. Including personal feedback round.

Our approach

Before you start the training, complete a short questionnaire and send us one of your policy texts. This way we get to know you and your work better and discover what your learning wishes are. The trainer uses your input when putting together the program and exercises, so that they meet the learning needs of the group.

Result

After this training, you will be better able to write powerful and convincing policy texts and advice notes that meet the needs of your target group. In addition, writing takes you less time, because you approach your writing task more efficiently.

What do you learn in the Writing Policy Texts training?
We help you write clear and convincing policy texts. The training alternates between theory blocks, practical guidance and short (writing) assignments. You will work with example texts and also reflect on your own texts. The trainer offers a varied working method with a good pace.

Including personal feedback

After the training, you will receive personal feedback from the trainer on your own text. This way, even after the training, you will receive practical tips for your own texts to make them even more powerful and reader-oriented.
