This training is ideal for anyone involved in transforming communities and organizations, those charged with managing charrettes, or who may hire a consultant to conduct a charrette, including city and regional planners, public health staff, developers, architects, land and transportation planning consultants, citizen advocates, directors and project managers. 

This 3-day hybrid (virtual+in-person) training is a highly interactive course which blends instruction with case study exercises and practicing techniques and tools learned to provide participants with all the content required to successfully prepare for, manage, facilitate, and conduct a charrette. 

This course represents a collaborative project management system centered on the co-design process using charrettes and includes  

  • project assessment tools for gauging the length and cost of a charrette using a project budget, political considerations and design difficulty, 
  • nuts-and-bolts tools needed for managing a multiple-day charrette, 
  • introduction to diversity, equity and inclusion and ways to make charrette processes more inclusive, and 
  • approaches for dealing with conflict. 

No prerequisite is required.
