Anyone working with communities facing complex challenges such as outreach coordinators, consultants and elected officials would benefit by attending and learning meaningful best practices to assess and address outrage in their public participation.This course brings together the collective knowledge and experience of outrage management as taught by Dr. Peter Sandman and public participation as practiced by IAP2. It is highly interactive and uses a range of adult education methods including case studies, video clips and the tools and techniques used in public participation.
There is space in this program for personal reflection, group discussion and application of strategies. Participants receive a learning journal to record their reflections and insights and to note what is important for their work.
Upon completion, you will receive a certificate of completion from IAP2.
