All of our techniques for community engagement are visual, participatory and interactive. We can run community engagement workshops for groups or organisations introducing Planning for Real® and our various techniques and tools.

Below are some of our tools for community engagement which are available to buy. Please note that Planning for Real® kits are only available to people who have been trained by us in Planning for Real®. This is because Planning for Real® is a registered trademark and should only be delivered by people who are fully trained in the technique.
