Two webinars with different presenters, in which experts in the field will address some of the following questions:

• What are some ideas or creative methods for continuing engagement without meeting face-to-face?
• What’s “out there” in terms of social media, teleconferencing platforms, digital tools in general? When and how should we use them?
• What are some good experiences and what should we be careful about?
• How do we address inclusion and low barrier access for those with limited tech skills: what technologies require easy installation or none at all, while supporting a variety of participation methods
• Platforms and tools that support effective small group conversations and “break out” rooms, or that can support moving from plenaries to group work
• Platforms that can include visual note-taking or collaboration (in ways that can be recorded for data collection)
• Facilitation tips and tools for effective online conversations
• And more …

COVID-19, P2 and Managing With The “New Reality”

On Wednesday, 1 April at 5am AEDT, we’ll focus on you and how you are adapting to the sudden changes and what others are doing. We’ll be considering such questions as:

• How are people responding to this?
• What do we do with our projects?
• How do we cope?
• How do we plan in areas like accessibility and inclusion?
• Is any engagement that we are doing now valid?
• What is the problem that we are trying to solve?
• How do we reach the “seldom heard” and individuals with accessibility challenges?
• How can we continue to motivate people to participate in the current context and until what point in the process?

You are not alone, so join us for this special session.
