Introduction to facilitation when working with public stakeholders

Join Bec Hanley in UCD for an introductory level workshop to facilitation when working with community and public stakeholders in research. If you are interested in engaged research, Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) or co-creation, this workshop may be for you.

Open to researchers from any discipline, this workshop will give you the tools to build your confidence and understanding of how to facilitate diverse stakeholders when discussing research. You will learn from other participants about what might, and might not, work in specific contexts.

This engaging and interactive workshop is aimed at UCD researchers, but community partners are welcome if they wish to take part. This is an in person event.
