Press Training with the Aktivistinnen-Agentur at the RTG Contradiction Studies

On November 29th, an interview and podium training with Emily Laquer from the Aktivistinnen-Agentur took place on the premises of the RTG Contradiction Studies. During this training, the members of the RTG were able to learn how to communicate their scientific findings and research results to the press confidently and assuredly, be it on television, radio or in the newspaper. The training was illustrated with concrete examples and exercises.
