COMMUNICATIONS & OUTREACH

02.03.16 www.lrng.org

Ryan Coon

The Sprout Fund

Sara Isaac

Salter>Mitchell

Inform & Inspire

Introduce new ideas

Connected Learning

Learning Playlists

Digital Badges

Generate excitement & engagement

Create a feeling of anywhere any time learning

Reach people through multiple channels:

On the streets

In community hubs

Through partners

At public events

Through mobile media

Learning is hands-on and participatory– so is your messaging

Dedicated communications staffers and budget

Partner with others who already have capacity

Plan for small, medium, and large set of activities

A smaller, more sustainable campaign is (probably) better than a flash in the pan.

National provides messaging guidance and brand assets

Partners responsible for implementing within their local context

Peer support via collaborative working groups with other cities

Collaboration without collision

Stories and anecdotes become a form of evidence.

Start early & establish a baseline.

Get out in the field and find youth impact stories.

Be mindful of media depictions of minors.

ADAPT & REMIX

Keep youth at the center

• Who are they?

• Where are they?

• What do they care about?

Plan according to context

• Timing

• Capacity

• Partners

Review the key messages

of LRNG.

Identify and describe your

target audience.

Sketch ideas for adapting

message to reach target

audience through multiple

channels.02.03.16
