In collaboration with the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC), a series of five workshops are organized to enhance and refresh the knowledge and skills of PR and Corporate Communications practitioners through experience sharing.



* Participants who attended all five workshops will be awarded a "Certificate in Applied Corporate Communication" co-issued by HKGCC & PRPA.

Workshop 1: "Crisis Management in Action" on 19 October

When a crisis happens, it is imperative for the organization to evaluate the situation and take decisive actions while maintaining business continuity. A timely communication with internal and external stakeholders is equally crucial. For enterprises and public relations personnel, crisis management can reflect an organization's management capabilities. It is thus critical for an organization to derive the best preparation in the good time and prepare for the worst.

This workshop will cover crisis prevention, crisis handling and post crisis recovery. Real world case studies will be used as learning tools.

Outline:

- Types of crises

- Crisis responsibility

- Crisis prevention, handling, and recovery

- Case studies

Workshop 2: "Event Planning and Management" on 27 October

Workshop 3: "Knowing the New Media Landscape" on 9 November

Workshop 4: "Building Your Brand in the Metaverse" on 15 November

Workshop 5: "Digital PR in Practice" on 22 November

(Details of workshops 2, 3, 4 and 5 will be announced later.)
