Talking the Walk: A communication manual for Partnership Practitioners
Michelle Evans, University of Melbourne
Abstract
Genuine partnership engagement requires clearly identifying those who may be marginalised or excluded. This identification entails looking beyond individuals and organisations who ‘speak’ on behalf of a partner or stakeholder group, to those who do not. In making such an assessment, partnership practitioners need to recognise that the space for different voices to be heard is shaped by particular contexts and cross-cutting issues such as age, class, cultural beliefs, ethnicity, gender, rural/urban background, political affiliation and education/health status, all of which may change over time and will need careful unpacking.
