Community Engagement: Activity Considerations & Feedback Gathering

Effective community engagement goes beyond planning—it requires thoughtful delivery and meaningful feedback. This session will help you understand how to create safe, inclusive, and impactful activities while ensuring communities feel heard and valued.

You’ll learn how to:

• Overcome barriers to communication and engagement
• Build trust through active listening and clear communication
• Recognise and minimise potential harms in engagement activities
• Identify direct and indirect beneficiaries of engagement work
• Gather, analyse, and act on feedback to strengthen future participation

With real-world examples like the Ageless Thanet project, this session offers practical tools and strategies to help you design activities that empower communities and ensure every voice counts.

Walk away with confidence to deliver engagement that is ethical, inclusive, and transformative.
