Project Title: "Community Voices: Addressing Local Social Issues"

What you need to doYou will develop a community engagement plan and rationale for the allocated engagement topic. Your rationale should describe, discuss and justify each section. Scholarly literature (unit’s readings) should be used to support discussion. You will also develop two tactics (submission ready) that you identify in your plan. Your plan should be written using the following headings; it is up to you how many words should go in each section but make sure you are familiar with the marking criteria: IntroductionDescribe the problem/topic being addressed by the community engagement you are planning, and discuss the importance or significance of this problem/topic to the case organisation and to the community in which you are seeking to engage with.Identify and discuss any contributing contextual factors ( ie: existing relationships, power, time, culture, resources, public opinion, precedents, regulations, or other influencing events) that may influence the plan. Community ProfileUsing the evidence you gathered for assignment 1, describe the profile of the key community members (publics/audiences/ groups) the case organisation should engage with in this plan?Are there any disengaged, disempowered or minority groups relevant to the plan?How will you consider quiet or silent voices and authenticity? Engagement strategy and evaluationWhat is the key goal of the community engagement plan?Describe the engagement framework and how you apply the framework in this planDiscuss how time applies (short, medium, long term) to your planDescribe and justify how and when you will evaluate and what action you will take in response to the findings (of the evaluation) (for example, formative (during) and summative (at the end). TacticsDescribe and justify the types of tactics and tools you will use. Note: there are no limitations to the amount of tactics – however remember tactics need to be appropriate to the goals of your engagement plan, the type of strategy, audience needs, timing, and other resources. Social and ethical considerationsWhat ethical, social, or cultural considerations exist within the community-organisation setting?How will those considerations be reflected in your planned community engagement? Limitations and conclusionOutline any limitations or assumptions that you made when developing the planProvide a short conclusion drawing the reader to the key, most important claims.
