NR102vcx Strategies to Meaningfully Engage the Community in Revitalization Planning - Accelerated Faculty-led Course

Community involvement in visioning and planning a better community 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 interest. Learners in this course will discuss key barriers to effective community participation and learn specific tools to overcome these barriers. Learners will also enjoy hands-on practice and exploration of various participatory planning techniques.
