Conversations about inclusive and sustainable communities: six practices for creative engagement O’Brien J and Towell D. (2011)

The six practices presented in this guide offer practitioners helpful insights into how to begin conversations with citizens that develop mutual understanding and a shared desire to act together. The six practices will be useful for those trying to:

  • Discover more about local people’s perspectives
  • Bring together diverse groups to coproduce knowledge and generate new, shared insights
  • Identify local assets which are often overlooked, but which often prove key to success
  • Balance broad based engagement with in-depth understanding
