Description:
Public engagement and outreach has significantly changed over the past few years with the pandemic accelerating new virtual practices. How do we expand and go beyond engaging typical audiences and familiar faces at public meetings? Which engagement approaches and tools can help park agencies bring out greater participation with a focus on equity? Whether you are coordinating public involvement for a construction project, park master plan or community update, we’ll explore these questions, dive into good and less than ideal examples, and outline creative solutions to improve participation and equity in public engagement.
Learning Objectives:
1. Adapt engagement strategies and tactics to reach historically underrepresented voices virtually, in-person and in hybrid settings.
2. Better employ different public involvement approaches and effective equitable engagement practices taking into account factors, such as the scope, scale and timeline of project.
3. Identify and utilize techniques to invest and build community relationships that lead to a project’s success.
