NR102 Strategies to Meaningfully Engage Stakeholders in Revitalization Planning
Community involvement in visioning and planning a better future is undoubtedly one of the most critical elements of the revitalization process. Doing it well can be a very challenging task and failing to do it well can have a major negative impact on the process -- maybe even cause its failure. An effective, successful participatory process not only results in revitalization plans that truly respond to a community's best interest, but the people engaged in it develop their leadership skills and are better equipped to continue advancing their community's interests. Participants in this two-day course will discuss key barriers to effective community participation and learn specific tools to overcome these barriers. Participants will also enjoy hands-on practice and exploration of various participatory planning techniques including the design charrette, the World Cafe and other innovative participatory exercises.
