This course aims to revamp your everyday professional writing to bring it into line with the UN 2.0 environment. You will discover what constitutes effective professional writing and learn how to achieve it. You will develop your autonomy and gain confidence.
You write texts in English every day but are not really satisfied with them? You’re tempted by AI but not really sure how to use it? You’d like to write more clearly and confidently? Come to the Writing Clinic to diagnose your problems and get a cure! Through a hands-on approach, you’ll learn to identify and fix issues in your texts using a range of tools and resources – including generative AI. Practical, collaborative workshops will focus on your: emails, Teams interactions, short reports, minutes, concept and briefing notes, summaries, social media posts and articles.
You will attend a weekly 2-hour in-person workshop. Self-paced pre- and post-workshop activities and interactive forums online will consolidate and develop your drafting skills to make them UN 2.0 compliant. You will also benefit from a personalized one-hour coaching session with the tutor based on a text of your choice.
You will be evaluated through: attendance at a minimum of eight sessions and your coaching session, and online platform participation.
