Civil Space and CivicPlus® share a mission: empowering healthy community engagement to meet our diverse communities’ needs. Thanks to the overwhelming participation in our previous Practicing Inclusive Engagement webinar, our technology partners will host an enhanced version of their original presentation and answer your questions about engaging your community the right way. 

In this recorded webinar, Renée Mak and Kevan Gilbert from Civil Space discuss the challenges, approaches, and benefits of decision-making that involves a group of citizens that better represents your whole community, including a diverse cross-section of race, age, citizenship status, income, ability, education level, and housing status. They discuss:

  •  How to put citizens at the forefront of your planning
  • Case studies that showcase the use of inclusive and equitable digital town halls and gathering places
  • How Civil Space's technology can help you collaborate on key initiatives through an inclusive, accessible platform designed for education and context
