The COVID-19 outbreak has created a "new reality" in many sectors, including Public Participation. Practitioners, trainers and others are wondering how to handle the situation.

IAP2 USA and IAP2 Canada are offering these special webinars, to address the questions we have received over the past week or so.

n this session, Susanna Haas Lyons and Elizabeth Buehler, Civic Engagement Manager with the Salt Lake City Corporation, will address questions such as:

  • What are some ideas or creative methods for continuing engagement without meeting face-to-face? 
  • What's "out there," in terms of social media, teleconferencing platforms, digital tools in general? When and how should we use them? 
  • What are some good experiences and what should we be careful about?
  • How do we address inclusion and low barrier access for those with limited tech skills: what technologies require easy installation or none at all, while supporting a variety of participation methods
  • Platforms and tools that support effective small group conversations and “break out” rooms, or that can support moving from plenaries to group work 
  • Platforms that can include visual note-taking or collaboration (in ways that can be recorded for data collection) 
  • Facilitation tips and tools for effective online conversations
  • And more ...
The other sessions in the series include:
  • SESSION 1, Tuesday, March 24 at 8:30am Pacific (11:30am Eastern), in which Kim Hyshka of Dialogue Partners and Chrystiane Mallaley and Michael Sauvé of Hill+Knowlton Strategies also respond to these and other questions. Register here for that session.
  • On Tuesday, March 31, 11am Pacific (2pm Eastern), we'll focus on you in "COVID-19, P2 and Managing With The 'New Reality'". How are you adapting to the sudden changes and what others are doing. We'll consider such questions as:
    • How are people responding to this?
    • What do we do with our projects?
    • How do we cope?
    • How do we plan in areas lilke accessibility and inclusion?
    • Is any engagement that we are doing now valid?
    • What is the problem that we are trying to solve?
    • How do we reach the "seldom heard" and individuals with accessibility challenges?
    • How can we continue to motivate people to participate in the current context and until what point in the process?
