Webinar 1: 
Introduction to designing community owned energy projects with strong community participation.

Thursday 19 September 2019

This session will have us thinking through why participation is so important for community owned renewable energy projects, and what important outcomes participation contributes to for projects and communities. As we will see, strong participation is at the heart of many desired social outcomes, such as empowerment, skills development and community building. This webinar will expand on the ‘Spectrum of Public Participation’ by adding depth to the way that we think about participation and it will introduce the ‘Participation Footprint’ as an effective visual tool for analysing participation. The webinar will draw on Australian case study examples.
