I am currently preparing a workshop for graduate students across various fields at the Lebanese American University - LAU on how to write a winning policy brief 📑

In today’s fast-paced and complex world, the ability to effectively communicate policy recommendations is crucial. A well-crafted policy brief can influence decision-makers, shape public opinion, and drive meaningful change. This skill is essential for students aspiring to careers in various fields including but not limited to public policy, research, and advocacy. By the end of the session, students will have the tools and confidence to create impactful policy briefs that stand out.

🗣️ If you are an expert in the field and willing to provide feedback on the material, please do send me a message. Your insights would be invaluable in ensuring the workshop’s success and relevance.

Looking forward to empowering the next generation of policy influencers! 🌟
