Community Engagement
Working effectively with communities requires collaboration, commitment and a willingness to learn.
When time-lines are tight and work is busy, community engagement can often become little more than a tokenistic activity here and there. Successful organisations recognise that engagement with community is more than a public relations exercise. We can support you to establish meaningful, productive and long-term relationships with a community or community group.
- Do you have a project that requires participation from community?
- Are you receiving poor feedback or resistance from community members?
- Would you like to enhance relationships with a community?
- Do you need ‘buy in’ from community to support your project?
We can support your organisation to develop a community engagement strategy that is relevant to your purpose and the people you wish to engage. Our “community linker” approach to engagement will provides you with a framework through which to plan and implement your strategy and track progress towards your goals. We can help you develop the interpersonal skills to engage comfortably with culturally diverse groups and work collaboratively to build the foundation for meaningful, productive and long-term relationships.
