​A makeover for the ugly stepsister of corporate communication

We put theory to practice in an interactive plain language writing course that focuses on legal documents. 

Who should attend the workshop?

The workshop is aimed at professionals who communicate on behalf of an organisation or who draft documents such as

  • terms and conditions;
  • disclaimers;
  • notices;
  • contracts;
  • correspondence;
  • forms; and
  • marketing material.

The workshop is therefore ideal for people who need to create more effective, client-centred business communication.

What is covered in the workshop?

We will look at the entire process of effective legal communication in plain language, including

  • guiding your organisation towards plain language;
  • plain-language challenges;
  • planning, in other words understanding your objectives and the expectations of your audience;
  • drafting, in other words choosing what to communicate, getting organised and writing; and
  • editing, testing and revising.

You will be given ample opportunity to put your skills into practice and you will receive feedback from experts. If you would like to send us an example of your work beforehand, you are welcome to do so.

About the presenters

Elizabeth de Stadler and Liezl van Zyl write, consult and design effective communication for a living. One an attorney and the other an information designer by profession, they are a formidable team, challenging the way that organisations approach their legal writing.​

Date: 22-23 April

This year the campaign will run from Monday to Thursday, 13th to 16th April on the Tygerberg campus (outside the TSS) and on Stellenbosch Campus in the Neelsie VV Hall, 21st to 23rd April​. More than 300 students and staff have already gone for HIV testing during the first 2 days of the First Things First campaign at the Tygerberg campus.

The campaign urges students and staff to come for a quick, free and confidential HIV test. We specifically encourage first years and students from the LGBTQI community to make use of this opportunity. Some clients will receive a 2GB USB armband depending on stock availability.

First Things First aims to encourage young South Africans, our future leaders, to be responsible, get tested for HIV and to empower themselves. The focus on first year students and the LGBTQI community emphasises the need to provide quality HIV testing to vulnerable individuals. 

Contact Malan (pmwalt@sun.ac.za), our Key Populations Coordinator for more info or support if you are from the LGBTQI student community. Or contact Jaco (jgbrink@sun.ac.za; HIV Prevention & Research) for more info about this campaign and other available services.
