The IAP2 Training Program offers a Certificate in Public Participation throughout Australasia, North America, Europe and Asia.  Our trainers have worked with practitioners from around the world to develop practical tools that transcend national and cultural boundaries and are suitable for the most advanced practitioners through to those just starting out.

The third course is Techniques for Effective Public Participation. This two-day course provides an introduction to a range of practical tools and techniques for community engagement.  At the conclusion of the course students will have learned:

• Tools and techniques that can be used at all levels of IAP2’s Public Participation Spectrum

• How to prepare for, implement and document techniques to:
    Share information
    Gather broad-based feedback
    Foster group discussion to develop new ideas and directions
    Facilitate agreement within groups
    Provide opportunities for public dialogue and decision-making

Note:  Module 1 - Planning for Effective Public Participation is a prerequisite for this module.

The IAP2 Certificate in Public Participation consists of three courses:

• Course 1: Planning for Effective Public Participation (2 days)
• Course 2: Communication for Effective Public Participation (1 day)
• Course 3: Techniques for Effective Public Participation (2 days)

All three courses are presented in an experiential learning environment that provides students with the opportunity to explore their own public participation challenges with their instructor and peers. Interactive exercises and practical tips are used to enliven the theory and reference materials presented throughout each course and reinforce skills that participants can put to immediate use.

Alan Beattie is the presenter for this training in Sydney.
