After carefully reviewing 55 universities that entered the competition, a winner for our free license has emerged... 👇 One institution stood out; not just for what they aspire to do, but for what they are already doing to transform geoscience education in their country. They are tackling declining student interest, bridging the academia-industry gap, and actively trying new approaches to public outreach. 🇳🇬🏆 Congratulations to the University of Abuja! 🏆 🇳🇬 Their bid stood out for three key reasons: 1️⃣ A Clear Mission to Revitalize Geoscience Education With fewer students choosing Earth sciences in Nigeria, the University of Abuja is redesigning its curriculum, integrating practical skills, and ensuring that geoscience education remains relevant, engaging, and career-focused. 2️⃣ Bridging the Academia-Industry Gap They recognize that graduate employability is a critical challenge and are actively working with industry partners to equip students with real-world communication skills that will help them engage policymakers, communities, and stakeholders. 3️⃣ Innovation in Geoscience Education Under the leadership of Dr. Aminu Abdullahi Isyaku, Head of Department they are the first institution in Nigeria to introduce a geodiversity and geoheritage course. This kind of leadership drive is key to making their Geologize training successful. 💡 With an estimated 160 students and staff set to benefit from this training, this partnership is a major step toward transforming geoscience education and outreach in Nigeria. A HUGE congratulations to Dr. Isyaku and the entire Department of Geology and Mining at the University of Abuja! 🎉 At Geologize, we are thrilled to support this journey and look forward to seeing the incredible impact this training will have. 🚀 Tunbosun Afolayan, SCMP®, Agogo Abraham, Sandra V., Malami Uba Saidu, Janet Adeyemi, David Khoza, Antony Benham #Geologize #GeoscienceEducation #Geocommunication #UniversityOfAbuja #EarthSciences

At yesterday’s National Outreach Committee meeting at #SME, we explored a question that is often asked but rarely answered: Why does our messaging often fall flat? 👇 The usual outreach playbook isn’t working. "Everything you use comes from mining." "Without us, there’s no energy transition." These statements are true, but they don’t change minds. As Rohitesh Dhawan puts it, we respond with rational arguments to an emotional debate. 💡 In my presentation, I showed how neuroscience can illuminate the discussion. 🧠 Basal ganglia: The brain filters out predictable, expected messages. 🧠 Anterior Cingulate Cortex: Detects conflicting or suspicious information, triggering distrust before a conversation even begins. 🧠 HPA Axis: When people feel pressured to agree, stress hormones rise, and dialogue shuts down. 🧠 Insula: Power asymmetry triggers feelings of unfairness and moral outrage. The response isn’t curiosity. It’s scepticism and defensiveness. 🧠 Whole-brain: Direct messaging alone rarely shifts perception or behavior. So, what does this mean when we talk about mining? It means saying the unexpected rather than repeating industry mantras. It means embracing concerns instead of dismissing them. It means inviting ‘no’ rather than chasing ‘yes’ and delivering evidence against interest so we are seen as allies rather than adversaries. Most importantly, working with the brain means designing multiple entry points to amplify neurological signaling - enhancing attention, sparking emotion, and increasing engagement. If mining is to have a future where it is trusted, we need to stop talking 𝘢𝘵 people and start 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮. Thank you, everyone, for coming and engaging so enthusiastically! Michelle M.

Trust is the most valuable currency in mining today and is in short supply. An environmental voice with the power to sway millions of ESG and impact investors stood outside the room. She wasn’t just ignored—she was mocked and dismissed. But what if her endorsement could legitimize responsible mining in ways no framework or certification ever could? ⏳ The mining industry can’t afford to overlook voices like hers any longer. 👉 Read our latest blog on the critical intersection of mining finance, ESG, and building trust for the future. #Mining #ESG #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #ImpactInvesting #SocialLicense #FutureOfMining #MiningFinance #Geologize

We are pleased to present our 2025 report for 2024.

We are proud to sponsor Women in Mining Denver at their upcoming Gala on February 21. Read this thought-provoking article to learn what attendees will have access to. 💜

For mining leaders, every day can feel like walking a communications tightrope. They’ve got to stay connected with investors, communities, Indigenous leaders, business partners, employees, government officials—you name it. Everyone has their own priorities. And let’s face it, not everyone is coming from a place of trust. The challenge is being consistent in your message and delivering it the right way to to the right people, regardless of their perspective. This year PRA Communications is doubling down on our award-winning efforts to transform how miners communicate with the world. As part of that, we’re proud to support Geologize LTD, an organization focused on helping geoscience professionals demonstrate their impact and connect to society. We're working with Geologize to offer *free training* offer to the 27,000+ delegates expected at this year's Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) conference. More details to come. Interested in leaning more in the meantime? Get in touch to see how PRA and Geologize can help you and your team better manage your public reputation, revamp your presentations and public engagements, refresh your online presence, and much more #SocialLicense #PDAC2025 #Communication #Training #Mining https://lnkd.in/gmiCq3uU
