Programme Highlights
The workshop aims to enhance participants’ understanding of the issues related to challenges from the changing environment faced by professionals (public relations practitioners and engineers). Through project case studies and interactive group discussions, participants will be able to understand the strategies and tools for engaging stakeholders with an aim for delivering projects.

In recent years, engineers are required to face the public to explain the project technically but in an understandable and concise way to non-professionals. Most importantly, they have to create meaningful dialogue between an organization or developer and the communities involved, so as to respond to opposing voices from the public, various stakeholders, media or government officials, as well as minimize potential conflict.

Both effective public consultation and early stakeholder engagement for any major infrastructure projects which would directly affect the public during construction are critical to the success of projects, because they determine how your company and the proposed scheme are perceived by the community.
