Case Study Writing
The Case Study is a powerful way to demonstrate the benefits of a programme to outsiders. It gives a full picture of the end user's experience of the project inputs, processes and results – often presented as a ‘success story’ in reports and advocacy writing.

The Case Study focuses on depth, and aims to fully understand a particular end user's experience and outcomes of a programme. Although time consuming to collect and only giving depth of information, not breadth, it help us get the message across to our readers about how our work positively affects individuals and communities.

This three-day course enhances participants’ ability to analyse data and plan and write case studies dor a range of purposes.

During this course participants learn how to:

• Plan the Case Study
• Identify the message
• Organise the ‘story’ in a range of ways
• Ensure the writing communicates a powerful and persuasive message

The training uses a range of methods, including presentation, group discussion, problem-solving tasks and practical exercises.

There is a strong focus on the participants’ own experiences throughout. A typical schedule is:

Day One

• Opening and Introduction
• Essentials of a Case Study
• Identifying the Message
• Data Collection

Day Two

• Clarity and Organisation
• Structuring the Case Study
• Using Mind Maps for Case Writing

Day Three
