In a new interview, Gloria Marzano (Prospex Institute) offers an overview of another key element of the project's stakeholder engagement work: the Policy Engagement Forum.

The Policy Engagement Forum was designed as a complementary tool to the Policy Labs. While the Labs are in-person events with a defined group of participants, the Forum is intended to broaden the project's reach by drawing in a wider community of stakeholders through the project's LinkedIn group and website. 

Some planned activities include webinars, surveys and moderated online discussions that allow external participants to engage with topics that may not be covered in depth during the in-person labs.

The Policy Engagement Forum plays an important role within ForestPaths - complementing what has already been discussed in person and helping to shape what still lies ahead, including the fourth and final lab. Inputs gathered through the Forum also feed directly into the project's final policy recommendations.

Those interested in getting involved can join the Policy Engagement Forum LinkedIn group, where discussions on specific topics are ongoing.
