Target group
Public service employees who already feel fairly confident about producing formal documents in English and want to elevate the quality of their texts to a higher level. This workshop primarily addresses former participants of the workshop ‘Formal Writing in English for Public Officials’; it also welcomes other public officials who are open to classic, collaborative, and creative approaches to efficient and effective writing in the workplace

Apart from your personal efforts, you will benefit from the feedback provided by other participants. The trainer will guide you throughout the entire process and complement it with on-the-spot language feedback.
