The committee has engaged with many companies, organisations, and governmental bodies to allow for dialogue between a wide range of stakeholders in the extractive industry. There are a huge array of resources available globally designed to inspire young people, empower general public through knowledge and influence decision makers. In this presentation we will show you our journey so far and hopefully highlight some tips for effective communication to improve the sometimes overwhelmingly negative perception of the industry within the wider public.
