Messages for key audiences
Our core messages can be adapted to suit the priorities of specific audiences, but it’s important that we use the same tone across our diverse audiences. Just because we're speaking to students, for example, doesn’t mean we speak like students.
One way to bring the key messages into a vocabulary that our audiences best understand is through the use of quotations rooted in personal experience. When we describe a term like vital impact we can use a student quote to create meaning, context and benefit in an authentic voice with the right vocabulary.

"I kept saying 'I can't believe I'm in class right now,' when we were hiking through a national park, talking to locals in a village, or wandering through a palace. I realized the value of experiential learning opportunities like these. Instead of simply learning about topics, we saw them first-hand and had the opportunity to engage with them."—Geography student Julia Bennett, about a field school in India
