About the event
Are you allowed to run engagement surveys or consultations over summer? Erm yes of course!
Many organisations treat summer as a quiet period - a time when engagement pauses and plans wait until September. But communities don’t stop caring when the weather gets good, and summer can actually be one of the most productive moments for meaningful insight.
In this learning lab, we’ll explore five practical, realistic ways to keep your engagement active over summer, how to tap into seasonable content and to set yourself up for the rest of the year. Stay visible, human and connected.
This short lunchtime session is a space to reflect, learn and rethink what’s possible when others are winding down. Whether you’re new to engagement or looking to mix it up this summer, we will leave you with straightforward ideas you can put into practice.
