We would like to thank all of you who took part and enriched the conversations we had about engagement during a year of great uncertainty.
With the hope of a return to some normalcy in 2021, we would like to continue offering these free webinars on various topics as a means of continuing to learn, engage and share with our fellow practitioners.

SESSION 1 (CLOSED)
Connecting with communities during COVID-19 without appearing ‘tone-deaf’
FRIDAY 3 APRIL, 12.30PM - 1.30PM AEST
Together, we’ll discuss key questions and challenges you may be facing such as:
How, when and why would we engage during this period?
How do we progress projects or meet milestones and gather vital input into decisions while also being sensitive to our participants’ struggles and needs?
How do we engage and communicate sensitively and appropriately with people that are anxious, emotional or impacted?

SESSION 2 (CLOSED)
How do we connect with people who aren’t online and/or groups that are ‘hard to reach’?
FRIDAY 17 APRIL, 12.30PM - 1.30PM AEST
Based on your suggestions during session #1, this discussion will explore the following questions:
Is anyone ‘beyond our reach’ in an online world, what barriers do they face and how to we overcome them?
Who is ‘hard to reach’, where can we find them online, and how do we include their voices and really hear them?
What are alternative ways to engage and build relationships with those who are not online when we can’t meet face to face?

session 3 (CLOSED)
How do we really ‘hear each other’ and have a collective experience when we engage online?
FRIDAY 1 MAY, 12.30PM - 1.30PM AEST
So we know who we need to reach and how to reach them - what next? This discussion will explore the following key questions:
How do we engage collectively –hear each other, encourage collaborative learning and do group work in an online world?
How do we avoid the trap of only receiving individual commentary (either in a synchronous and asynchronous setting)?
How can we create a shared experience similar to what you can achieve in a face-to-face workshop?

The right tools for the job - selecting the right methods and activities in an online environment

Responding to popular demand, we tackled this digital dilemma for our fourth session. The discussion will explore:
decoding the language: method vs. tool and how these concepts interact
potential pitfalls and traps in tool/method selection and how to avoid them
four common workshop steps and how you might adapt them in a digital context.

Participation and the pandemic - a debrief
FRIDAY 12 JUNE, 12.30PM - 1.30PM AEST

Gain insights into what we’ve learnt about engaging through a crisis - what’s worked, what hasn’t and what we should consider taking forward.
Experience an online, facilitated ‘debrief’ process that you can emulate or draw inspiration from in your next project.
Influence where we take the discussion series next, helping us to understand the engagement dilemmas you want us to tackle during future sessions.
