16/06 11am-1pm: CHMST & WIE Public Engagement Workshop

warwickhistory — Wed, 20 May 2026 12:03:59 GMT

When: 11am - 1pm, Tue, 16 Jun '26

This workshop will introduce key concepts from public engagement theory that can support good practice. From understanding your purpose to tailoring for your audience, we will explore the important questions to consider when designing and developing public engagement activity and the value of this to both individuals and the institution. We will reflect on how this could be applied to your own research, and discuss the wider support available from the Warwick Institute of Engagement - wherever you are on your engagement journey.

The workshop will be led by Laura Harford, the strategic lead for Resonate, WIE’s public events programme. She has extensive experience in outreach and public engagement, and works closely with students, staff and community partners to create accessible and engaging projects.

The workshop will run from 11-1 on 16th June, and a buffet lunch will be provided after the session.
