A free introduction to digital engagement tools for residents of Scotland's islands and people working with island communities
Date and time: to
Location: Online
Organisation: Planning Aid Scotland
Ever tried to gather views from your community and received only a handful of responses? Or found that the same voices take part each time, while other voices are harder to reach?
Digital tools can help you involve more people, collect clearer information and make it easier for communities to take part.
This online session will introduce practical digital tools for community engagement, including Community Map Scotland and Placecheck. You will explore how interactive maps and other simple tools can support your project or community-led plan.
You will learn about:
• Digital tools for gathering community views, including Community Map Scotland and Placecheck
• Ways to reach people who may not attend meetings
• Choosing the right tool for your community and project
• Making digital engagement accessible and inclusive
• Using the information you collect to support a project or community-led plan
By the end of the session, you will have:
• New ideas for collecting a wider range of community views
• A better understanding of the digital tools available
• Practical approaches you can use in real-life projects
• More confidence in planning inclusive digital engagement
This session is ideal for anyone who wants to gather more meaningful information from their community without relying only on meetings.
There will also be time to ask a few questions at the end.
