Whether you're designing consultations, facilitating conversations, or shaping policy, these masterclasses will equip you with practical strategies to engage communities in ways that build trust and deliver impact.
Through these sessions, you'll learn how to:
-
Improve the quality of public engagement by creating spaces where participants feel heard, respected, and empowered to contribute.
-
Broaden the reach of public engagement by designing inclusive processes that engage people from all walks of life—not just the usual voices.
-
Balance diverse perspectives by exploring the trade-offs between competing values and interests.
-
Bridge divisions and disagreements through meaningful dialogue and active listening.
Drawing from real-world examples in Australia and around the world, the sessions explore fresh, practical approaches to deliberative engagement.
Hosted by the Centre for Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance — a world leader in the study of public participation — this series brings together expert thinkers and practitioners who are helping to reshape democracy for the better. You’ll also have the chance to connect with some of Australia’s leading experts in deliberative engagement and become part of our growing network of practitioners working to make public engagement more meaningful and effective.
Participants will also receive a certificate from the Centre of Deliberative Democracy and Global Governance.
