Collaborative Conservation: Partnerships in Practice (C2P2) is designed for experienced practitioners actively involved in community-based partnerships who want to further cultivate their understanding and use of conservation social science concepts and practices. 

C2P2 builds on the foundational skills and professional competencies taught in Managing by Network. Topics include collaborative governance, adaptive leadership, collaborative process design, trust building, and sustaining partnership impact.

This peer-learning course is seminar-sized and highly interactive. Instructors and participants share concepts, best practices, and innovative strategies for strengthening community engagement and sustaining partner networks.

Advance your partnership skill set and collaborative impact:

  • Explore innovative social science concepts, models, and tools for building trust and alignment and leading partnership networks through change and growth.
  • Learn from experienced practitioners about effective governance models, transformational partnerships, and best practices for sustaining and leveraging partnership impact, and aligning with community and conservation priorities.
  • Gain insights and feedback from peers and instructors on a specific partnership opportunity and/or challenge in your work.
