Training Programme

From Paper to Practice

Public participation is a dynamic discipline, with new techniques continually being developed and challenges emerging. Involve’s learning programme aims to capture new developments and translate them into practical options for people doing participation on the ground. The events build directly on the ‘People & Participation’ publication, bringing the methods alive and exploring the tensions that you have to manage.

Our programme has been developed by some of the UK’s leading thinkers and practitioners. It represents a real step forward in actually operationalising empowerment and community engagement – going beyond discussions on ‘best practice’ to thinking through decision-making systems and challenges.

What’s on offer?
Workshop sessions where you can:

- access the latest thinking and pratice on participation

- design participation processes for different situations

- learn what methods to use when

- make new contacts in the participation field

- identify challenges you face and how to overcome them

When are the sessions?
We are currently in the process of planning our training programme for 2007. Details will be posted on this site as they become available. 
 
Who should come?
Those who are responsible for participation projects and want to develop their skills and understanding of what’s available.
