Organised well, Community Planning Events can be immensely rewarding. Organised badly, they can be a sad waste of energy. The formula is open to abuse unless good practice principles are followed.
This manual brings together experience gained to date. It is for anyone wanting to organise an event. It focusses on the classic 6-day ‘community planning weekend’, but the same basic principles apply to shorter or longer events.
The book has been designed to be useful before, during and after events. Double-page spreads are self-contained and include handy sample documents and checklists with space for your own additions. Pages can be blown up to create exhibition panels or reduced to form leaflets or working documents.
This edition is also integrated with the Community Planning Website (www.communityplanning.net) where further and constantly updated material can be found.
An important part of the process is tailoring the formula to meet your specific needs. Use the book as a guide and stimulant, not a blueprint.
Community Planning Events keep evolving. Comments from readers and feedback from events would therefore be most welcome for compiling future editions and updating the website.
