Hello @Dialogue Matters 

🌿 This sounds like a truly valuable opportunity for anyone working in environmental stakeholder engagement. Thank you for sharing!

I especially appreciate the emphasis on real-time feedback and facilitation practice. In my own experience, inclusive and well-designed dialogue can significantly improve collaboration outcomes, especially when addressing challenges like habitat preservation or human-wildlife conflict.

I’m curious, are there components of the course that touch on stakeholder engagement in fragmented landscapes or cross-sector collaboration for biodiversity conservation? It’s a topic I’ve been exploring and would love to learn how best practices are evolving in that space.

Looking forward to seeing how others in our community engage with this training. Kudos again to the Dialogue Matters team for your award-winning impact!

🌱 Warm regards,

Simon.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your interest and kind words about our training. We definitely agree that well-designed dialogue is key when working around complex, multi-stakeholder topics. We always aim to 'work for better outcomes for people and nature'.

Our training course usually brings together people from across the environment sector - from marine, to landscapes, to species conservation, to policy. All of the approaches and techniques that we teach can be applied to/adapted to any specific context someone works in. 

So we'd say that the same best practice approaches also work for stakeholder engagement in fragmented landscapes or cross-sector collaboration for biodiversity conservation!  

If you'd like to hear a bit more about our best practice approach, particularly sharing power for the wise outcomes, you can hear our Director speaking here: https://youtu.be/wHBA4BDCpZA 

Wishing you all the best in your work, it sounds fascinating!

Best wishes,
Imogen (Dialogue Matters)
