<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In the place of an in person, day-long Annual Conference, The Institute for Policy and Engagement will be hosting a series of events, webinars and online workshops for colleagues across faculties, schools and campuses at the University.
With a line-up of impressive internal and external speakers, we will be exploring recent developments in policy and public engagement. In light of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the UK’s departure from the EU and new reliance on digital ways of engaging, sessions
will encourage debate, learning and information sharing on new approaches to engagement.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I want to bring your attention to sessions that have an exclusive focus on public engagement.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An online workshop led by David Owen (Associate of National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement), featuring Rachel Fenely (Lakeside Arts). They will explore how to engage with local communities under current restrictions, using a
blended approach (both digital and non-digital methods). The focus will be on working with smaller groups, rather than mass engagement. This is a workshop rather than a webinar, so will involve breakout spaces for discussion.<o:p></o:p></p>
