Our Residential Best Practice Participation Course
The overview
Dialogue Matters run a residential training course in Kent, UK one to two times a year.

We also run an online version of our Best Practice Stakeholder Participation course. Please email training@dialoguematters.co.uk if you would like to be alerted when the next online dates are released.
Briefly, what does the course cover?
The course emphasis is to equip people with the necessary understanding and skills to design and deliver effective stakeholder participation processes, or to recognise when it is inappropriate for them to do so and an impartial third party is required.
During training courses we also provide each participant with the opportunity to practise skills and receive constructive feedback from participants and trainers.

Where is the course?
We alternate running our Best Practice training course online or in-person.
Delivering online makes the course more accessible to a wide range of people. It also allows us to demonstrate how we have adapted our best practice facilitation techniques and tools for the online world.
For in-person training courses, we are incredibly lucky that our offices are situated in a rural Kentish village, East Brabourne, with the Kent Downs on our doorstep! Weather permitting, we always head out for a stroll during our training course, so you’ll get an opportunity to enjoy the scenery and some fresh air too. Accommodation and meals are usually booked in Wye, a nearby village.
