A 3 Part interactive webinar training
facilitated by neighborworks america
We are excited to announce a series of NeighborWorks trainings focused on building community and engaging residents in community improvement efforts.
These trainings are open to HCD community partners, as well as others working to engage and empower residents in community improvement efforts in Delaware.
Effective Participatory Techniques:
Thursday, March 16, 2023 | 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
In this webinar, we will investigate a variety of successful approaches and techniques for achieving participation goals and objectives, both in-person and online. Effective and fun participation processes can also develop participant leadership skills and help your stakeholders become better equipped to continue advancing their community’s interests. We will explore options from a large World Cafe, storytelling, and place-based exercises to intimate porch talks, dialogue circles, and interviews – and everything in between. You will walk away with hands-on experience with new engagement tactics, and an understanding of when they may be most appropriate to enhance your revitalization planning process.
Public Participation Plans & Evaluation
Thursday, May 4, 2023 | 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Meaningful and accessible community engagement is critical to successful revitalization. However, doing it well can be a very challenging task—and failing to do it well can have a major negative impact on the process. An effective, participatory process requires careful and well thought-out planning.
In this webinar, we will focus on developing a public participation plan to serve as a guide to organizing, executing and evaluating a community engagement program. A good public participation plan connects a stakeholder analysis and goals and objective objectives with an array of appropriate participatory techniques, while also including practical considerations such logistics, materials, and time and resource constraints. Make your next engagement effort the best it can be!

Thriving Together Through Shared Stewardship
virtual Series
In our series, we discussed how Shared Stewardship is about working together in an integrated way to make decisions and take actions in a way that improves our vital conditions, outlined our progress, and found a path forward for outcomes that we endeavor to collectively realize for our communities.
It is our sense of shared stewardship that connectedly and collaboratively, improves our communities’ vital conditions, and ensures that Delaware communities thrive as a place to live, work, and play.
