Content
Community consultation and participation have been fundamental to health promotion since the establishment of the field. With the emergence of many new tools, theories, and frameworks, processes that guide community consultation and participation have greatly changed over time, while the core values stay the same. In this unit, we will explore cutting edge theory, frameworks, and practices to do effective community consultation and participation, particularly through the lens of community empowerment, social justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and systems thinking.
Community consultation and participation is inherently about doing. After an introduction to theory, the main focus of this four-day in person intensive course (broken into two 2-day blocks one week apart) will be learning how to do community consultation and participation well, with plenty of hands on practice. Students will receive training in how to use Systems Thinking In Community Knowledge Exchange (STICK-E), a tool developed at Deakin University to assist in facilitating community-based workshops and in applying systems thinking to health promotion practice.
