I recently had the pleasure of speaking at the Social Licence and Stakeholder Engagement Conference in Perth. The presentation focused on providing tips, tools and models for planning and implementing community engagement processes in the mining sector. I’ve made a short video of the key parts of the presentation – it’s an introduction to help prompt your thinking.

Thanks Tifinie for you feedback – please let me know if there are specific aspects of community engagement that you’d like to find out more about.
