Description:

When done well, community engagement can mean that communities are invested in bringing about change; understanding what is possible and what is not and where conversations are focused on creativity to deliver tangible and meaningful outcomes for communities and other stakeholders. It can be applied to local development initiatives and projects from the earliest phases of planning through to project inception.

This ‘Guide to Good Community Engagement' webinar will consider how local authorities can create partnerships with communities that last beyond the creation of a TIP and any follow-up intervention. Focus will be given to how different approaches and messaging can be used to engage different community groups, along with effective means of collecting evidence and evaluating feedback.
