The Challenging Contexts in Public Participation (P2) and Engagement course is a prerequisite to other courses in the Global Learning Pathway that sets out the underpinning models and frameworks of engagement practice as defined by the IAP2 community.

 

The course focuses on what P2 and engagement is, who is involved, standards of practice, and why it is important to be practiced ethically and effectively. The training explores concepts and models in contexts that are challenging, and how to design and applying this knowledge to your P2.
