Virtual workshops on blog writing and social media strategy

The “How to Write an Effective Blog” and “How to Develop Strategic Social Media Content” workshops in English, French and Spanish helped participants communicate their research more effectively through blogs and social media. The sessions focused on translating research into engaging, accessible content while developing clear and practical communication strategies to reach wider audiences, including peers, the public, and policymakers. By the end of the workshops, participants felt confident using blogs and social media purposefully to increase the visibility and impact of their work.

Through its research communication platform, GlobalDev, the Global Development Network (GDN) launched a multilingual online workshop series open to researchers interested in expanding the reach and influence of their work across English, French, and Spanish-speaking audiences. These workshops, designed to bridge the gap between academic production and public engagement, aim to cultivate a global community of researchers who can contribute meaningfully to informed public discourse and evidence-based development policy.
