Community Engagement Bootcamp
Feeling stuck in a rut with how you engage people in your projects?
Want to build a solid foundation in community engagement to take your career to the next level?
Frustrated with business-as-usual consultation—boring surveys, low participation, and no real impact?
You’re not alone. Too often, community engagement feels like a box-ticking exercise - something we have to do rather than something that truly connects and inspires people.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
