Course Summary
Government officials in capital cities issue legal licenses. Out at the project site, networks of stakeholders issue social licenses. Without both, the project stops. However, getting a social license is a much less defined affair. It is an ongoing process that lasts the life of the project. This course explains the principles for getting and keeping a social license.

The points in the course are illustrated with examples from Latin America, North America, and Austral-Asia. The examples include projects at different stages of the mine lifecycle and in communities with different pre-existing capacities for issuing a valid, durable social license.
