peer review #7 on abrasive communication In this Peer Review, the communication professionals delve into abrasive communication. Sometimes the discomfort is consciously sought out and other times it is impossible to avoid it. The aforementioned causes of communicative discomfort include corporate hypocrisy and messages that are at odds with existing ideas. Opinions differ about the best approach for communicating a message. "Let everyone get mad at each other, as soon as you nuance it, you take away its power," said one of the Peers. What all professionals agree on is that change always causes discomfort. You can call the fact that the Netherlands is a people that talk, and will therefore always try to agree on something, but also brave , says another Peer. Because it is not easy. These are the words of Dr Guido Rijnja, Communications Policy Advisor at the Government Information Service; Julia de Vries, Communications Advisor Royal Dutch Hunters Association; Prof. Christian Burgers, professor by special appointment of Strategic Communication at the University of Amsterdam; dr. Simone Krouwer, Postdoctoral Researcher Communication Sciences at the University of Antwerp and our own Wensly Francisco, Producer at idtv docs. The Peer Review is a monthly production of idtv+ and Logeion, the Dutch professional organization for communication professionals. In each episode, guests from the communication profession shine their light on a theme. The previous episodes appeared on the media channels of idtv+ and Logeion. Production runs throughout the year, in honor of Logeion's 75th anniversary. previous post do public and private communication differ? next post take care of tomorrow wins golden giraffe award idtv is an All3media Company - © 2021 idtv Terms and Conditions Privacy Statement Cookie Policy

long would they live Hip hooray, it's Kenny B.'s birthday today! It will be a special day. Especially for the War Graves Foundation, which is 'celebrating' an anniversary of 75 years this year, he and 75 students will mark his birthday with war and peace. Kenny B. is one of six well-known Dutch people to mark their birthdays as victims of war during this special anniversary year. Together with 75 students from Reeshof College in Tilburg, he comes to the National Ereveld in Loenen to reflect on the ultimate sacrifices made in times of war and to talk about his own experiences with war in Suriname. In addition to these anniversaries, the War Graves Foundation will commemorate the birthday of a war victim every week in the coming jubilee year. With a short film, the Foundation tells the story of a special man or woman on the day that he or she would have had his or her birthday. The campaign is a collaboration with idtv+: Long would they live .
