Meaningful Online Engagement

About this workshop

Are you a researcher thinking about taking your public engagement activities online and would like guidance about how to do it well? This new session offered by the SSD Impact team, and delivered by the National Coordinating Centre for Public Engagement (NCCPE) is for you.

Meaningful Online Engagement provides an opportunity to consider if and how to translate your public engagement plans to an online context. Looking at purpose, people and process, the course provides an opportunity to think through how to design your engagement, top tips on how to ensure you and your participants get the most out of the engagement, and ideas for how to evaluate it. You will have the opportunity to explore some case studies of practice, before considering how to apply the framework to your own work.

Open to researchers at Social Sciences Division only. Places for DPhil students according to availability (these places will be confirmed at later date).

If you would like to book one of these slots, please e-mail impact@socsci.ox.ac.uk with a couple of lines of what you would like to get out of a 1:1 session, and we will confirm arrangements separately.
