Sharing knowledge and resources
We are in the process of building a resource bank which will contain links to some of the key literature, organisations and practitioners in the fields of community engagement and participatory practice. We will also freely share resources we develop as they become available.
The broader aim of offering this curated resource list is to increase people's knowledge and skills in how to effectively participate in initiatives aimed at addressing issues that most affect them and their communities.
