Plain English for funding applications

This interactive online workshop, comissioned by the Irish Museums Association (IMA), will provide training to participants in writing in plain English. 

Taking place over a half-day, it will focus on how to write clear, concise, engaging content and stories for funding applications, include fact-sheets (on plain English and punctuation), and follow-up support, where participants send ‘homework’ in the form of a sample of their new writing and the trainer provides constructive feedback by email.
