IAP2 Way in Challenging Contexts

IAP2 Way in Challenging Contexts

The IAP2 Way in Challenging Contexts course is a prerequisite to all other courses in the Global Learning Pathway. It sets out the underpinning models and frameworks of P2/engagement practice as defined by the IAP2 community in terms of what it is, who is involved, standards of practice, and why it is important to be practiced ethically and effectively. Participants will explore these concepts and models in contexts that are challenging and will gain skills and knowledge to apply to their work. This course is suitable for practitioners who already have substantial experience in P2/engagement work and are ready to be leading this work with others.

Core Learning Outcomes 

By the end of the course participants will be able to:

●        Define P2/engagement and related terms and describe its relationship with communication
