Advanced Public Outreach Modules

MOVE YOUR PROJECT FORWARD

Even if your situation seems hopelessly entangled by opposition

Integrate our Consent-Building approach into your daily work

You work on issues that matter. But it gets exhausting when the public misunderstands, opponents misrepresent, and policymakers approve -- but don't fund -- your recommendations.

If you've had our introductory course (Dealing with NIMBY using SDIC: the Systematic Development of Informed Consent - Level 1), you can get a deeper understanding of how to apply it to your actual work through the 4 Advanced Public Outreach Modules (Level 2) .

Module 4: Values

The Role of Values in Your Work

Understand how domestic terrorists are made, not born. And what you can do when anti-government attitudes and organized opposition threaten the work you do on the public's behalf.

It has both the big-picture and the details!"

- Lacey Risdal, Director of Public Works
