Registration opens January 12, 2025.
This training is offered in partnership with Connect the Dots.
Each session will meet over Zoom for 2 hours.
Prerequisite: To attend this training you will need a basic understanding of community engagement concepts and practices. We assume that you will have attended the Introduction to Inclusive & Equitable Community Engagement virtual training offered in 2024, OR you can take an intro crash course available through Connect the Dots (a link to this course will be shared in mid-January). Alternatively, you can share your working knowledge and background in community engagement via the question in the registration form.
You’ve done the work to identify audiences and stakeholders and define project goals and topics, but how do you implement an engagement strategy for your project?
This mini-course will guide practitioners to the next step of the engagement process from ideation and research to strategy and implementation. Through a two-part virtual training series, we will discuss how to match types of engagement activities with topics, and the steps it takes to design and project manage a team to create successful and meaningful engagement for your project. We’ll share tools that help to organize and structure the actions you need to take to actualize your ideas into reality. We’ll share case studies of projects that were completed in short and long timelines and projects with a wide range of tactics used, such as Interviews, Focus Groups, Pop-Ups, and Public Workshops.
Topics will include:
Each session will last two hours, consisting of presentations, tool introductions, breakout discussions, and some time for Q&A.
Supplemental resources will be available for participants to review via an online learning platform.

If you are in need of a scholarship to help cover the cost of registration, feel free to submit an application here. The deadline to submit is: Thursday, February 7, 2025 by 11:59pm Eastern Time.
Please note we only have a limited amount of scholarship funding and our process will follow a pay-what-you-can model where you will propose what you are able to pay to attend this training. This amount will not factor into your application review.
Historically, placemaking as a profession has only been accessible to a privileged few. To that end, this scholarship application process will prioritize candidates from low-income communities, communities of color, and other communities affected by social inequities. Priority will also be given to candidates who clearly describe how the training will support their current work or professional development.
Application Deadline: Thursday, February 7, 2025 by 11:59pm Eastern Time.
