As part of the Creative Councils programme Involve and NESTA are hosting a series of free webinars on community engagement, coproduction and related issues. Many of the Creative Councils projects are trying to connect Councils with the communities they serve in new and interesting ways. If you’re looking for inspiration or advice on how to engage with citizens and how to creat a culture of community engagement in your organisation then join the conversation!

Each session will include a presentation by an expert in the field, followed by an opportunity to ask questions and discuss. The sessions will be interactive, short and held over lunchtime in order to make it easy for you to attend. If you can’t make the webinar you can also submit questions in advance or access a recording afterwards.

This webinar will explore how to make a compelling business case for community, stakeholder and public engagement. It will look at the theory and practice of articulating the costs and benefits of engagement to internal and external audiences.
