              Stakeholder Mapping

              August 20, 2026 

              1:00 pm - 4:30 pm Eastern

              This course introduces a powerful, transparent process to identify and analyze key stakeholders for any engagement project – a critical step in an ethical and equity-centered engagement design. After understanding the theory and purpose, participants use short cases to practice stakeholder mapping. They learn how to identify and analyze the full spectrum of stakeholders, with special emphasis on underrepresented stakeholders who need additional outreach/support to ensure inclusive engagement. For each case, the group learns how to “clean” and finalize the map, and then discusses implementation challenges and how to overcome them.

              Learning outcomes:

              • Challenge: Design and implement equity-centered engagement processes for increasingly diverse communities 
              • Critical to success: Robust and comprehensive stakeholder identification and analysis (“stakeholder mapping”)
              • Course combines theory, practice, instructions, templates
              • Participants leave ready to conduct thorough, defensible stakeholder mapping that identifies underrepresented stakeholders, and use the results to plan and successfully implement inclusive engagement 

                Outline:

                • Introduction, overview, and grounding
                • Stakeholder mapping

                    When Safety Isn’t Enough | A Neuroscience-Informed Approach to Moving Communities from Self-Protection to Shared Responsibility

                    Course Description and Couse Learning Objectives: 

                    Public participation practitioners already know that connection and psychological safety matter. But when communities face uncertainty, conflict, and change, initial safety is not enough. Under pressure, people often narrow their thinking, protect their identities, harden their stories, and collapse too quickly into defensive positions or premature answers.

                    This course goes deeper than conventional conflict management by exploring why uncertainty affects the brain, body, and behavior of groups — and what facilitators can do in response. Participants will learn practical ways to keep people relational, emotionally steady, and open to the needs of the whole through silence, breath, story, circle practice, emotional naming, and inquiry beneath positions. The course offers a neuroscience-informed framework for helping communities move from self-protection toward shared responsibility, better judgment, and decisions that can serve the common good.

                    We will explore practical facilitation interventions that help groups stay open under pressure, including:

                    - using silence, breath, and pacing to shift the energy of a room;

                    - designing openings that create emotional steadiness before difficult content begins;

                    - helping participants create distance from their thoughts so they are not trapped inside their first reactions;

                    - transforming conclusionary statements into deeper inquiry about needs, values, fears, and hopes;

                    - working with stories and resentments so participants can see one another more fully;

                    - using structured sharing to help people name feelings without turning the meeting into therapy;

                    - creating forms of belonging that make disagreement more bearable;

                    - helping groups stay with uncertainty long enough for more creative and durable options to emerge.

                    Cost: $175 Members  --  $250 Non Members  --  $100 Student Members.

                      About the Program

                      Based on IAP2's internationally recognized Global Learning Pathway, this program provides approximately 35 hours of practical, skills-based training in public participation and community engagement.

                      The Certificate builds knowledge and skill progressively across three essential courses—Fundamentals, Designing Engagement, and Applying Methods—equipping practitioners to design and deliver meaningful, effective engagement processes.

                      Three Essential Courses

                      1. Fundamentals of Public Participation (P2)/Engagement

                      Fundamentals—required as the first course on IAP2’s Global Learning Pathway—establishes the shared foundation for effective public participation practice.

                      It builds a common language and understanding of the principles, values, and frameworks that guide engagement across the IAP2 community—clarifying what meaningful participation looks like and why it matters.

                      Participants explore:

                      • IAP2’s Core Values, Code of Ethics, and Spectrum of Public Participation

                      • The role of engagement in decision-making

                      • Characteristics of credible and transparent processes

                      • How foundational concepts apply in real-world engagement contexts

                      Fundamentals prepares practitioners to move from good intentions to intentional practice.

                      2. Designing Public Participation & Engagement

                      Designing builds on Fundamentals and focuses on the Design and Plan phases of IAP2’s Practice Framework.

                      It strengthens practitioners’ ability to clarify purpose, influence, and participation before methods are selected or processes begin.

                      Participants develop an engagement plan for a real-world project while exploring:

                      • Engagement scoping

                      • Identifying participants and communities

                      • Setting clear purpose and objectives

                      • Selecting appropriate Spectrum levels

                      • Analyzing and responding to risks

                      Equity, inclusion, and the needs of diverse audiences are integrated throughout the course.

                      3. Applying Methods for Engagement

                      Applying Methods focuses on the Plan phase of IAP2’s Practice Framework, where practitioners select, develop, combine, and evaluate engagement methods.

                      The emphasis is on hands-on practice—exploring and trying out elements of methods to understand how they work in real settings.

                      Participants:

                      • Use the Methods Matrix to identify methods that fit engagement objectives and participant needs

                      • Identify and evaluate method objectives

                      • Develop effective questions to guide participant input

                      • Combine and sequence methods

                      • Assess whether selected approaches will meet engagement objectives

                      Participants leave with practical tools and strategies they can apply immediately.

                      Why Attend in Person?

                      This five-day, in-person experience provides space to step away from daily demands and engage fully in your learning.

                      Participants will:

                      • Experience firsthand how physical space influences engagement dynamics

                      • Learn from spontaneous dialogue and informal peer exchange

                      • Strengthen their professional network through sustained, face-to-face connection
