Telling your story through interviews with service users can be a powerful and direct way of communicating your impact. This workshop will help you consider the interviewing process, and develop your questioning skills.

We will cover:

• Why interview?
• Preparation for interviews
• Styles of interviews for video and audio
• Creating the right atmosphere
• Finding the story
• Asking good questions
• Editing interviews

By the end of the workshop you should be able to think through what you want from an interview, and how to achieve a great result whilst still maintaining the highest standards of respect and care for your service users.
