Community Engagement: Advanced Techniques, Examples and Outcomes (UEP-0225)

Fall 2023 · UEP 0225 · Tufts University · 3 credits · Undergraduate

The best planning projects and public policies succeed when the communities they are intended for are engaged in shaping them. This course explores ways to create active, positive community participation in different settings. We examine the goals and practice of community engagement, from theory and history to methods and techniques. Using case studies of engagement in Cambridge and Boston, we discuss with guest speakers the characteristics and effectiveness of the process they are facilitating. Students are given the tools to design a community engagement process in a setting and about an issue of their choice.
