Impact though engagement 

Demonstrating external impact has never been more important. Increasingly organisations are being encouraged to foster meaningful interactions with diverse audiences and, crucially, to demonstrate the value of these interactions. But what does successful impact through engagement look like? And how do you achieve it? 

This one-day workshop will guide you step-by-step through the processes to maximise the chances of your work fostering real and long-lasting change when working with the public. Explore best practice in planning; how to connect with the public; understand evaluation processes and discover how engagement fits with  funding applications. 

The workshop will be led by Dr Jamie Gallagher an engagement trainer and consultant who has worked around the world improving the reach, profile and impact of organisations in almost every discipline.
