Overview

This course will provide participants with an introduction to internationally recognised community engagement techniques. Prior to attending this course, it is recommended that participants attend the 'Introduction to Community Engagement for Council Officers' workshop which provides training in the use of the Local Government Community Engagement Handbook.

The handbook is revised regularly to keep it up to date with current developments in community engagement in South Australia. It includes a section on engagement techniques with First Nation communities and people with disabilities.
 
This-one day workshop reviews how to effectively plan for community engagement which leads to the selection of appropriate techniques.

  • Explore the range of skills needed to work with community engagement techniques;
  • Understand a structured approach to determining which techniques are most likely to produce; desired results and increase participation in community engagement;
  • Active participation in a range of techniques such as facilitation of small groups, 'Focused Conversations' and 'World Café'.
