Webinars presented by IAP2 Canada and IAP2 USA are recorded; the recordings and any collateral material are made available for the professional development use of our members and non-members who have paid to take part in the monthly webinars. IAP2 Tasters are mini-versions of professional development courses. In these webinars, you'll get to engage with a trainer on a given topic, ask questions and make comments, and come away with two or three learning points that you can put to work right away in your own practice. Many of these same trainers present longer versions of these courses, whether ad hoc throughout the year or in online trainings. January 2021 Taster

NAC Encore: "Aistowaípiiyaóp" & "Partnerships Are All About Relationships"Cooperative efforts between public agencies and Indigenous communities take the stage, as we present two “NAC Encores”. Aistowaípiiyaóp: Walking Together tells the story of how a racial slur led to a cultural reconciliation at Alberta Health Services. Partnerships Are All About Relationships describes how the Government of Canada has been working with ten Indigenous groups, literally from coast to coast to coast, to develop a web-based system for providing maritime data to local communities. The PowerPoint deck used in the “Aistowaípiiyaóp: Walking Together” segment can be downloaded here.

Projects of the Year
If your P2 work involves Indigenous or otherwise marginalized communities, you need to join us for the next Learning Webinar! The Projects of the Year from Canada and the USA will share some amazing insights into how they brought to the table the people who needed to be there -- in two widely-divergent projects. Argyle was tasked with helping to work out a governance structure to ensure that the “Sixties Scoop Healing Foundation” -- a $50-million foundation set up to assist survivors of the Canadian action of removing Indigenous children from their families and placing them with “white” families -- serves the people it’s supposed to. The Argyle team travelled from coast to coast to coast, meeting with Indigenous communities, hearing powerful, emotional stories, and finding team members suffered trauma from the experience, themselves. You’ll learn how they handled that delicate balance to co-create the foundation’s governance. Co-creation was also the theme of the USA’s top project. The Tualatin Hills (Oregon) (Oregon) Park and Recreation District and its partners set out to re-imagine, design and realize a parks and recreation system that meets the needs of a very diverse population. You’ll learn about the variety of languages they had to work in, and the ways they overcame other age, accessibility and gender barriers. They discovered the importance of paying honoraria to participants, showing how their input -- and hence, their time and effort -- was valuable -- and valued. Here are the PowerPoint decks used by our presenters: And here are the bios of our presenters. Here are some additional resources:
November 2021 Webinar"Cancel Culture" and Communications Planning - Moving Towards an Accountability MindsetOne of the great fears people in public life have these days, is the fear of being “cancelled” -- essentially ostracized on social media and elsewhere for saying or doing something others find offensive. In our November webinar, Kathryn Kolaczek, CEO of Alchemy Communications, reprised her 2021 North American Conference session on moving towards accountability in communications planning. Here is a bio of our presenter, Kathryn Kolaczek. You can contact her at kathryn@alchemycommunications.ca. Here is Kathryn’s slide deck, and the video regarding Pepsi commercials is here.

NAC Encore - Storytelling: A structure for building a shared story and strategy
"What happened?" and "What are we going to do about it?" -- two questions we often ask these days, as our communities experience harsher impacts of climate change, social justice strife and an uncertain future. In this reprise of her session at the 2021 IAP2 North American Virtual Conference, Cathy Smith looks at storytelling as a way to move from individual perspectives to a collective perspective, as well as to help communities organize information, so that it can be used to develop a shared understanding of challenges, consequences and steps to create new realities. Join us to learn more about this intensely personal approach to engagement, and bring your own experiences, questions, comments ... and stories. Here is Cathy’s slide deck. Here is a bio of Cathy, and if you would like to contact her to discuss this further, you can reach her at Catherine.Smith@cityworks.biz.
