Take Part in our co-development process to help build a Resource for Racially Equitable Public Engagement
As part of NCCPE's inclusion work, we are commissioning a resource to support public engagement professionals in practising racially equitable public engagement.
We want future users’ voices to help shape the resource. Vanessa Mignan Jenkins and Siddharth Kankaria lead the co-development process, and both have extensive experience supporting public engagement teams in implementing equitable engagement practices and participatory processes.
Your Contribution
Your participation will help shape a resource grounded in diverse perspectives, experiences and expertise from across the public engagement sector.
As contributors, you will help to;
identify priority topics
share examples, case studies and questions from your own work
review draft materials at key milestones
provide feedback through user testing activities
Get involved
We have now reached capacity of the number of participants to help us in the development of this resource. However we are at the point where we are recruiting specifically public engagement professionals, working in higher education to do some user testing at the end of October and beginning of November.
We will be asking our PEP community to navigate the resource and join us for an online feedback session where we will be listening to your thoughts on how it works in practice.
Online feedback sessions will take place on:
Tuesday 03 November 2026 from 12:30-13:30
Wednesday 04 November 2026 from 16:00-17:00
We will also invite those who cannot attend a live feedback session to contribute their comments through an online Padlet board which we will circulate along with the instructions of how to test the resource.
Who can apply?
We are now at the stage when we want to invite those who will be using the finished resource to feedback on its usability and whether it meets their needs.
We are looking for those who are doing or supporting others to do public engagement in higher education and research and who have not yet been involved in the project so far, to provide perspectives with a fresh pair of eyes.
