Training

To enable historians to engage effectively with policy makers and shapers, H&P offers training and support to its members as well as to students, when funding allows.

Courses include policy engagement skills training and History in the Headlines, with senior journalists and communications professionals explaining how different forms of media operate and the various opportunities for engaging with journalists.
