Inclusion & Equity in Public Engagement
Inclusion is integral to ethical and effective public engagement. Hearing from people with diverse lived experiences leads to more innovative ideas, better decisions and stronger democracies.
Inclusion is listed in guiding principles, values and mission statements across the field of public engagement. However, many groups of people remain under-represented in engagement processes due to accessibility barriers and systemic inequities.
The Centre for Dialogue is committed to advancing inclusion and equity in public engagement, not only by integrating inclusive practices in our projects, but also by supporting research and knowledge exchange around ever-emerging questions of equity in engagement.
Explore below our ground-breaking guide to inclusion and equity in public engagement, as well as additional resources, tools and case studies to support your work.
