      • To ‘demystify’ community engagement and public participation jargon
      • To stimulate discussion on critical questions or concerns (that we have) about current practice
      • To hear your ideas, thoughts and suggestions
      • All in less than 1 hour 

    8. Evolve Engaged Community ™ Page SUPPORT The host organisation helps the community do what they want - perhaps within a framework of grants, advice and support provided by them. PARTNER The host organisation and the community partner to implement and deliver a solution. CO-DESIGN The host organisation and its community develop options and solutions together. ASSESSS The host organisation helps the community assess a proposal. The host organisation may also encourage and seek additional ideas and options. FEEDBACK There is opportunity for the community to provide feedback and comment on a proposal.
    9. No 3. The 5 C’s you will never get lost! Page I am sorry, I’m a stranger here myself
    10. Evolve Engaged Community Model ™ Page This material is copyright ©2009 by EVOLVE. All rights reserved.
    11. Page Evolve’s 5 C’s CONTRIBUTION: People need varied and meaningful ways to contribute and are supported with the necessary capability (resources and information) to do so. CHOICE People are naturally curious and enjoy acquiring and exploring new ideas and information. They like to have a CHOICE about when, how and where they do this. CONNECTION: People enjoy having genuine opportunities to CONNECT with others, exchange thoughts, grow, evolve and improve. CLARITY Participants derive CLARITY from clear communication of the meeting objectives, process and intended outcomes. CONTINTUITY Meetings are part of a process, which, through continuing communication, can lead to the development, maintenance and strengthening of authentic long-term relationships between participants. It is critical to celebrate events and milestones in that relationship.
    12. Page Evolve Engaged Community Model ™
    13. No. 4 - Informing alone is informing, not engagement Page
    14. Informing – what do we mean? Communicate throughout, as for informing – have a ball! Most Public Participation Models include notice/informing as a level of community engagement. At EVOLVE, as notice is a one way street, we maintain that is an essential part of community engagement. INFORMING alone however is NOT community engagement . Page
    15. No.5 – Everyone has a part to play – what is yours? Page
    16. Roles – What do we mean? Define them! There are a multitude of meaningful roles in any community engagement program. Help people to choose appropriate roles that work for them. Page
    17. No.6 – A crazy smorgasbord Mix it Up!!!!!! Page
    18. A smorgasbord - What do we mean? Select the right tool for the job – no square pegs in the round holes! (That is try different approaches) Page
    19. No.7 Flip it!!!!!!!! Page
    20. Flip it – What do we mean? Want to engage young people, busy people, parents, regional or remote people – you name it!! Well let’s get over our obsession with face to face techniques, especially public meetings! Page
    21. Interesting Discussion
      • ‘ Terms’ of Engagement (is this a battle?)
      • Is old fashioned Public Relations good community engagement?
      Page

    24. So what have participants learnt? Their words....
      • This course can help us build stronger links across our organisation. This is needed for the overall strategic planning and delivery of our organisations services.
      •  
      • That we have fabulous resources to help us, especially making it clear to us the importance of pinning down the negotiables
      •  
      • It is amazing the large number of methods we have learned about and practiced.
      •  
      • I am relieved that I don’t have to facilitate meetings… there are better options out there that I now know about and I can still have a valuable role to play!
      •  
      • I think the 5 C’s are incredibly valuable.
      •  
      • It is great that we went through the actual processes of running consultations and didn’t just talk about them.
      •  
      • That we can draw on all these people ... there are great networking opportunities we can take advantage of. We learned to work as a team.
      •  
      • I learned the importance of pacing a meeting, as you did with the training course. I liked how you provided topic breaks and asked interesting questions so we stayed focused and involved – you walked your talk!
