Community Engagement Project 'Taster' Sessions
The Community Engagement and Sustainable Development project aims to explore whether community engagement leads to long term behaviour change in individuals that are involved in sustainable development activities.
WWF-UK and CAG Consultants are currently inviting organisations to take part in the wider research phase to provide evidence that will enable us to evaluate the impact of community engagement on long term behaviour.

Taster sessions
WWF-UK have arranged numerous ‘taster’ sessions around the UK that will allow interested project participants the opportunity to find out more about the project and get your questions answered.
These sessions will offer you the opportunity to explore how you can get involved in the research, see a demonstration of the impact assessment tool, and to meet others who are interested in taking part in your area.
We hope that, as a result of coming along to the taster session, you'll see how involvement in our project could be of benefit to your work and be encouraged to join us in the delivery of this exiting and innovative look at the impact of community engagement and sustainable development around the country.
