From 8–10 January 2025, the IIHS-TNUSSP team convened for a three-day Writing Workshop in Chennai, conducted by the IIHS Word Lab team. As TNUSSP approaches its closure, the workshop offered a valuable opportunity to learn and prepare to document nine years of impactful work through comprehensive reports and knowledge products (KPs).

During the workshop, the team was oriented on the nuances of writing and documentation. The sessions covered various aspects of effective writing, including writing structures, adhering to ethical standards, and leveraging tools for efficiency.

Participants gained valuable insights into report writing, identifying target audiences, incorporating citations, ensuring plagiarism-free content, addressing challenges, standardising formats across KPs, and streamlining the archiving process. Additionally, the team explored plans for creating a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) to amplify the programme’s reach.

This workshop has laid the foundation for the meticulous documentation efforts required in the coming months, equipping the team with the skills and clarity to deliver high-quality outputs.
