Introduction to public engagement
Public engagement is a broad term that covers a range of activities where researchers and practitioners engage with others outside of their workplace or profession.
There’s often a perspective that public engagement only applies to researchers, but the underpinning assumption of this workshop is that public engagement approaches apply equally to practitioners and applied psychologists, and can enhance our work and its credibility.
Public engagement work means that your research and practice can have more of a real world impact, but it’s also a fantastic opportunity to develop a range of skills.
Engagement is by definition a two-way process, involving interaction and listening, with the goal of generating mutual benefit
