This Master Class introduces practitioners to the award-winning Dialogue, Deliberation & Public Engagement (DDPE) program, now in its seventh year. The School of Humanities and Communication Arts at UWS is the proud partner with the DDPE Collaborative in North America.

This three-day workshop will be in Sydney in March 2012.  It will appeal to those working in the field of community engagement and public participation—consultants, change agents, community development practitioners, and policy makers—who have an interest in developing towards mastery. This means building skills, knowledge and intuitive sensibility to wisely bring forms of dialogue, deliberation and engagement into situations where they are most effective.

If you share enthusiasm for this work, please join us! Dr Jan Elliott from the DDPE Collaborative will co-lead this class along with Professor Lyn Carson. They will be joined by well-respected practitioners and scholars, either virtually or in-person. This Master Class will change the way you do your work.

The International Association of Public Participation (IAP2) presented the DDPE program with the 2009 Jim Creighton award for its development of excellence in the practice of public engagement, its commitment to research in support of practice, its international scope and its alignment with the core values of public engagement endorsed by IAP2.
