Overview
We increasingly hear the message that working with communities requires trust. Do you find yourself wondering, what does trust mean? What does trust look like? How do we build trust, or better yet, how do we work through distrust with partners? Join us for reflection and peer-to-peer sharing to build our collective knowledge of what trusting relationships with communities truly look like. If you have expertise to share or are just starting to think about this kind of work, we want you to be part of the conversation.
“Let’s Talk About Trust” is a collaborative learning workshop. It includes a combination of group discussion, partnered activities, and individual reflection. We explore existing resources on trust, discuss key concepts among peers, and identify successful strategies to overcome challenges.
This Office for Coastal Management instructor-led course can be delivered either virtually or onsite.
