Enhance your public participation skills with Planning in the Age of Direct Democracy

The Bloustein Online Continuing Education Program is offering a new Deep Learning course that can help you become more effective at public participation.

Planning in the Age of Direct Democracy explores various technological tools you can use to better engage audiences.  The course is taught by public outreach and communications expert Joni Scanlon, and runs from January 20 to February 27.  The course is completely online.  There are no required meetings to attend, but we encourage learners to participate in class at least once every other day.

Through this course, planners, architects and other community professionals will be better able to determine what tools will work best given different community conditions and public outreach budgets.   This course is for everyone interested in enhancing the public engagement experience.  No special technological knowledge is needed.

The course has been submitted for 14 AICP Certification Maintenance credits.  Like all BOCEP Deep Learning courses, Planning in the Age of Direct Democracy goes far beyond training.  The course helps you think more critically about your work, helping you become a more effective, creative and adaptable professional.

This course can be applied for 20 hours towards a Bloustein Certificate of Completion, Master Practitioner Certificate or Expert Practitioner Certificate.

The course costs $295, but PDI News and Updates readers can get a $50 scholarship.  Use promotion code BGBBS to receive the scholarship.
