IAP2’s Designing Public Participation introduces practitioners to the design and plan phases of the practice framework, providing them with the opportunity to consider and develop all aspects of a public engagement plan. 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. Participants will work with a real life, unplanned project to develop a detailed engagement plan.
By the end of this section, participants will:
