Through this practical and immersive lens\, we will embark together on the beginning of the design process\, exploring and practising skills and mindsets critical to this early phase.  \nYou will experience and practice the kinds of skills and mindsets required to work effectively and respectfully with stakeholders across diverse contexts and cultures. These include: \n\nAsking good questions: how do we work with community to define the problems and opportunities?\nListening: what does listening involve when working in cross-cultural and community contexts? \nUnpacking assumptions and biases that impact our work with clients and communities.\nHow these skills and mindsets relate to design considerations and the successful delivery of project outcomes.\n\nThis session will balance an exploration of key concepts with opportunities to practice skills\, mindsets\, and tools in a supportive and low-risk environment. \nWho should attend?\nThis short course is suited for: \n\nProfessionals at any career stage who deliver technical projects and want to increase their awareness\, confidence\, efficacy and sensitivity in stakeholder engagement.\nNot limited to practising engineers – professionals involved in the delivery of technical projects will greatly benefit.\nThose eager to explore what socio-technical engineering can look and feel like.\n\nParticipants will be provided a certificate of completion after participating in this workshop. \nEWB’s training offerings qualify for Engineers Australia’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD)\, required to achieve and maintain Chartered status and is an integral element of a successful engineering career. \nWhat you’ll come away with:\n\nStrengthened understanding of key skills for connecting with stakeholders at the early stages of a design process and tools to bring these into your own practice. \nKey considerations when engaging with communities\, including First Nations communities.\nAppreciation of the value of community engagement\, with regard to its contribution to the technology development process and specification of design criteria.\nUnderstanding of how these skills and mindsets are transferable to your current work.\n\nMeet your facilitators:\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n George Goddard\n \n University Impact Manager \n \n \n George is a sustainable development practitioner\, educator and researcher with 14 years of experience in development and sustainability.
