IPEN Seminar: Delivering public engagement with small teams

This seminar addresses how parliaments with few resources can implement effective public engagement. This affects small parliaments and those with limited resources overall. In these parliaments public engagement often needs to be delivered by very small teams, with limited budgets. The seminar will explore how the small team of the Parliament of the Isle of Man has developed capacity for delivering innovative public engagement programmes despite its very small team. This will be supplemented by reflections from an UNDP official on his experience supporting public engagement in the pacific islands.

This seminar is part of the seminar series of IPEN, a network that brings together practitioners and academics working on public engagement, with a particular focus on parliamentary institutions.

Speakers: Ruth Donnelly (Tynwald, Isle of Man) and Frank Feulner (UNDP Pacific Office)
