Practical ideas for involving your community by adopting a people-centred approach.

What do "people-centred", "co-production", "co-creation" and "participatory" actually mean in practice? And how do we bring the benefits to both our communities and our organisations?

Designed for organisations thinking about taking new steps to work more closely with their communities, this session encourages practical experimentation with people-centred practice. Drawing on a mixture of research and on-the-ground experiences, we share a little theory and a lot of practical tips for making meaningful, mutually beneficial connections with the communities you serve.

Date: Wednesday 27 September 1:30pm-3:00pm
