Composed of two new courses, Building Blocks provides a bedrock understanding, proven approach, and tools to create a positive culture of engagement throughout your organization and prepares participants to design meaningful engagement.
Principles and Planning for Meaningful Engagement
Too often, traditional engagement programs and meetings fail to meet the needs of either the agency or the community. This course builds on decades of proven practice to share a strategic approach and understanding of how to create a strong culture and foundation for successful community engagement. We provide a comprehensive understanding of the principles that underscore meaningful engagement, and a structured and rigorous approach to planning how to engage the community, build meaningful relationships, and communicate effectively.

Tools for Meaningful Engagement
Building on the principles and planning course, the Tools course offers a range of fundamental tools and skills to deliver meaningful engagement to our diverse modern communities. We take a structured look at a curated set of techniques for meaningful engagement that anyone can design and implement without further resources or training. This course explains how these tools work, where and how they are most successful, and tips and examples for design, including how to adopt these tools to online and hybrid applications.

Detailed workbooks provide the practical skills, processes, and planning tools you will find yourself using on all your projects.
This course is offered by The Participation Company.
