Community Workshops and Land Use Conversation Brief

Community Engagement & Co-creation

WWF-UK and Yorkshire Wildlife Trust are partnering to deliver a series of micro-community projects that are co-designed and delivered by the community. The projects will create opportunities for communities to participate and work together to create and share their stories about their area. They will shape their vision for the future of their area. This pilot initiative will feed into - and help secure the success of - the Wild Ingleborough project. Our programme will also provide insights on the use of narrative-led engagement models for future projects, which have different topographies and land use challenges.

Overall aims: • Create an exemplar project for national advocacy and replication, with learnings captured and shared • Increase local awareness, discussion and demand for land-use transformation • Engage diverse and non-traditional audiences in landscape issues and the vision of the future. Ensure underrepresented voices are heard in discussions around land-use.

The personal stories from these engagement projects, which include Oral Histories, an access fund and more traditional consultation, will help feed into the final community engagement element; a series of community workshops enabling local people to codesign and cocreate elements of the second phase of the project, focusing on the benefits to the wider community.
