Full Course Content Description
Fundamentals of Public Participation
The Fundamentals of Public Participation (P2) course is a prerequisite to other courses in the Global Learning Pathway that sets out the underpinning models and frameworks of engagement practice as defined by the IAP2 community.
The focus of this course is on understanding and applying the practices of meaningful and effective P2 and what participants need to know to do this well. The training explores best practices, and how to design and apply this knowledge to your P2.
Course objectives
By the end of this course participants will be able to:
Designing & Leading Public Participation
Designing & Leading Public Participation (P2) is a Level 2 course that introduces practitioners to the design and plan phases of the practice framework, providing them with the opportunity to develop P2 plans. This includes scoping, community mapping, determining purpose and objectives and levels of influence, choosing appropriate methods and managing resources, while considering the needs of diverse audiences. The course is suitable for practitioners who are leading the planning and implementation of P2 processes.
Course objectives:
Applying Methods For Public Participation
Applying Methods is a Level 2 course that introduces practitioners to a large number of P2 methods.
This includes learning how to design specific methods, developing good question design, and having an opportunity to practice running some methods.
The course is suitable for practitioners who are part of a team implementing a P2 process and are looking for the practical skills to be effective in designing and applying methods.
1. Identify a range of methods that can be used for various engagement purposes and processes, and strategies to select the most appropriate method/s for an engagement project/process. 2. Research, design and test a F2F and/or online method using a range of tools and resources. 3. Apply the four steps of designing a method incorporating the eight key components of method design. 4. Develop rational and experiential aims. 5. Design an appropriate format. 6. Design questions and process. 7. Develop these methods for delivery. 14. Identify principles for monitoring online activity. 15. Test the design by running elements of the method and submitting to peer review using a checklist. 16. Apply methods to achieve engagement goals and objectives, including using effective communication skills, and test for appropriate sequencing. 17. Design key messages and communication tools that build trust and integrity, and meet the needs of diverse audiences appropriate communications. 8. Combine methods to achieve engagement goals and objectives and test for appropriate sequencing. 9. Incorporate inclusion and diversity principles 10. Identify data management needs, evaluation points and measures. 11. Identify resources required. 12. Explore a variety of both F2F and online methods/ techniques that are more structured and have nested methods within them (e.g., Deliberative Processes, Appreciative Inquiry and Open Space Technology). 13. Analyze the specific requirements for online and digital methods, identify and select appropriate platforms and tools to meet needs and strategize
