Hi Everyone,
For this blog entry I’m going to talk about my experience with PPR and
their community engagement strategies for their clients.
Cedar Woods is developing an aged housing establishment in Carine and as
part of a community engagement technique needed myself and an admin assistant
to go around the surrounding suburbs issuing letter to the community to let
them know what is being planned.
Now in my final semester at uni, I’m taking the unit PR Consultancy which
has a higher emphasis on community engagement and different practices that
different stakeholders receive based primarily on their involvement within the
community. Basically the more the
project is to affect the stakeholder, the higher level of engagement which
decides which practice principle to apply.
In this case, the surrounding community isn’t going to be affected by the
again center development besides the occasional construction maybe slowing down
the flow of traffic. Therefore the best practice principle was to issue letters
to the surrounding community.
This experience was really good because it allowed me to get involved with practicing
community engagement which is important in any project!!!
Till next time,
Emily
