Community Engagement
Creating inclusive and meaningful ways to listen, learn, and connect.
Meaningful engagement begins with trust.
At The Mimir Collective, we support organisations to design and deliver approaches that bring people into the heart of learning and decision-making.
Drawing on our extensive experience in participatory research, trauma-informed practice, and complex social evaluation, we create spaces where reflection, collaboration, and shared understanding can flourish.
We understand that community engagement is rarely simple. It requires sensitivity, structure, and a willingness to listen deeply.
Our approach helps organisations move beyond consultation toward genuine co-production, where every voice contributes to shaping outcomes and impact.
We help you
-
Design and implement inclusive engagement models that are safe, ethical, and responsive to context.
-
Facilitate reflective workshops and dialogue sessions that empower participants to share lived experiences.
-
Build confidence within teams to lead participatory and trauma-informed engagement processes.

Why it matters
Across sectors such as heritage, arts, health, and community wellbeing, organisations are recognising that impact is most meaningful when it is understood collectively.
Engagement that feels tokenistic or extractive can damage trust, while inclusive, co-produced approaches strengthen connection and legitimacy.
Our work helps teams to create a culture of listening, reflection, and shared ownership — turning engagement into a source of insight, not obligation.
By working with The Mimir Collective, you gain the tools, confidence, and evidence to ensure your projects are not only effective but deeply connected to the communities they serve.
Why Our Work Matters
Communities hold the knowledge that drives real change, yet their voices are often the hardest to hear.
The Mimir Collective helps bridge that gap by creating processes that invite understanding and value lived experience.
We believe that engagement should feel safe, dignified, and empowering.
By combining evidence, empathy, and practical design, we help organisations build relationships that last beyond a single project — relationships that nurture learning, belonging, and wellbeing.
