A practical half day seminar introducing you to the principles of effective and genuine community engagement.
This session includes the following
- Approaches to reaching people that you're currently ‘unconnected' with
- Techniques for tapping into localism and the big society
- Identifying ways of sustaining relationships
- Case studies from the arts and heritage sector, including the Olympic Delivery Authority.
- A tour of Platform - the new creative youth space for Islington that has been created with a team of young advisors, some of whom now work for the organisation.
This session would be useful for those who are starting a programme of community engagement, or would like to refresh their approach by taking inspiration from others' examples and ideas. It will offer plenty of opportunity to discuss your own work, share challenges and talk about the most effective solutions.
