Engaging with community members and stakeholders: training for effective collaboration

Description

The University of Bristol’s Centre for Public Engagement and the UK Systems Society South West and Wales (UKSS SW2) invite you to join them in an interactive session to explore how Ketso, a hands-on kit for creative group work, can be used to engage with stakeholders and community members. Ketso catalyses effective collaboration, planning and creative thinking in groups.

This event gives you the chance to experience the difference that using Ketso can make to the quality and productivity of group interactions with colleagues, clients, learners and stakeholders.

You will have an opportunity to practice a variety of hands-on activities and to learn from a wide range of participants from within and outside the University. This will include an exercise discussing a project you are working on or interested in, to gain new perspectives on how to enhance stakeholder engagement. Ketso will also be used to explore the topic – ‘Planning for sustainability in the South West and Wales in a time of budget cuts’. This exercise has been chosen to both give an experience of using Ketso and also to allow participants to develop creative ideas for this challenge.
