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
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. In addition, to provide fresh perspectives, we are interested in involving those who have not yet been part of the project so far.
Those who are already involved in the process, will have the opportunity to feed into the content development and take part in user testing during the rolling content reviews phase during October.
Get involved
We are now looking to recruit specifically public engagement professionals, working in higher education or research settings to do some user testing at the beginning of November.
We will be asking our PEP community to join us for a live online feedback session where we will be listening to your thoughts on how it works in practice.
Online feedback session will take place on:
Wednesday 04 November 2026 from 16:00-17:00
We will invite those who cannot attend the live feedback session to contribute their comments through an online Padlet board which we will circulate at the beginning of November.
