The Engagement Academy is for planners, designers, engineers, municipal leaders, and community practitioners who want to lead meaningful engagement themselves—with less friction, fewer iterations, and better outcomes. Each level is a standalone 2-day workshop grounded in PLAYCE’s playful placemaking methodology. Level 1 builds the foundations: purpose-driven facilitation, trust-building, and practical tools for gathering real community insight and earns 12 LA CES +HSW credits. Through hands-on practice and real-world application, participants leave equipped to design and facilitate engagement that works, without relying on outside consultants, and supported by a community of peers doing this work every day.
