This series of hands-on workshops will support staff and research students to think about their approach to community engagement and learn skills and gain confidence in working with external groups.
The practical nature of the workshops aims to enable participants to “learn by doing”. You will take part in practical and creative workshops that will help you frame your approach to engagement activities in your own work.
These workshops are part of a series of EPSRC funded workshops to increase skills in community engagement. We particularly want EPSRC funded researchers to attend.
Upcoming workshops:
