public outreach
External audience communication
Public outreach refers to efforts by organizations, institutions, or governments to engage with and inform the general public.
The term implies initiative—reaching out rather than waiting for people to come to you.
A university's public outreach might include community lectures or school visits; a company's might involve educational campaigns or open houses.
The museum expanded its public outreach programs to underserved neighborhoods.
