The National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation is delighted to announce a new online course in effective climate interpretation: Changing the Conversation on Climate and Ocean Change. The course offers an engaging, guided tour of rigorous communications research recently conducted by the FrameWorks Institute on behalf of NNOCCI with support from the National Science Foundation.

With a virtual learning journey hosted by Lindsay Jordan of the New England Aquarium, and a ton of downloadable resources that informal educators can use to lead discussions or trainings with colleagues and volunteers, Changing the Conversation is an incredibly rich resource for taking framing back to your institution. The course is hosted in the FrameWorks Institute’s new online learning platform, FrameWorks Academy.
