Are you a Director/Programme Lead who needs to engage with the community?
If so you’ll know how important, and yet challenging it can be! With political sensitivities, competing views and “complaining about the council” being a popular pastime, it’s certainly no job for the weak!
Join us for “Why community engagement is hard” to hear about the challenges and how to overcome them, from people with over 20 years of experience in working with communities to shape public services.
What you’ll gain:
This panel discussion will include:
- Common pitfalls of organisations looking to engage with communities
- How to get the balance right with political sensitivities and competing opinions
- Real life case studies of community engagement on a range of issues
- Engaging with groups who don’t traditionally liaise with the council
- Turning insight into strategy – how to make your engagement worthwhile.
Why attend?
Learn from our panel of experts how to do community engagement well, in a way that builds bridges and doesn’t feel like a “tickbox” exercise.
