More Effective Risk Communication.
Course leader: David Ropeik, Harvard University, Boston, MA, USA
The four hour course will offer the following parts:
- The biology and psychology of why humans perceive risks the way they do
- The Hill Side School, a case study which teaches how to apply the lessons
from the first session to the challenge of more effective risk communication
- A Risk Communication Process: a systematic way to approach more effective
risk communication
