Engagement Done Differently - Human-centered Engagement

We all know including people with lived experience in community engagement is vital to the design and delivery of social services—and we all agree that we need more intentional and generative approaches that add real value to communities. But how do you balance that alongside the realities of tight timelines, limited budgets and resources, and political pressures and sensitivities? And what does that actually look like on the ground?

Join us for a discussion on tangible approaches to community engagement that can build trust with communities and drive better outcomes for government. We’ll dig into the process, challenges, and lessons of first-voice engagement and provide you with some tools/resources to support your efforts in community.
