Professional Certificate in Public Engagement for Local Government

Prior to the start of the program, participants identify a public engagement project they are currently working on, or one they are thinking about undertaking. In addition to the sessions below, participants have the opportunity for one-on-one work developing a personal public engagement strategy. The program will be highly interactive with participants attending each session live to facilitate open dialogue, peer-learning, and networking, and concluding with a Personal Public Engagement Summit that allows each participant to workshop an applicable engagement action plan. Participants will leave the program better informed and prepared to implement substantive public engagement.
