]]>How do you design a development or devise a strategy that people will welcome, use and benefit from in the way that you had hoped when starting the project? One way is to engage stakeholders at an early stage, feeding directly into the development process- something that can be quickly achieved using a charrette. A charrette is an intensive series of meetings, presentations, and workshops during which the design team puts together a development strategy while getting feedback from the public. The feedback is key to evolving a solution that gets great buy in. The advanced NCI Charrette Management and Facilitation Certificate, awarded to participants who complete the course successfully, will equip charrette managers with the essential tools and techniques required to manage a fast paced, and constantly changing, multiple day charrette. The Centre for Sustainable Communities is working together in partnership with NCI, BRE, Turnberry Consulting and Parsons Brinkerhoff to deliver this programme. E: j.conlon@herts.ac.uk
