We've extended our early bird special offer for 4 more days!
It's got colder, the calendar has switched over into September and talk of going back to school is everywhere.
Whilst this is a year like no other it's still that back to school feeling. It's a great time to take stock and think about your own development too, what areas would you like to learn more about in the next few months?
To celebrate this change in the seasons we've extended our early bird offer till Friday the 4th of September so you'll have to be quick but you can still get £10 off of each course you book.
Course 1: Understanding Community Development Practice, Tuesday 29th September
Course 2: How to Engage with Communities, Tuesday 20th October
Course 3: Evaluating Community Development and Measuring Change, Tuesday 10th November
Course 4: Training the Trainers: Peer Training and Facilitation, Tuesday 1st December.
These one day courses will consist of two 2.5-hour sessions and there will be one hour’s pre-course work. They are all CPD accredited and worth a 6-hour credit.

Action Learning
We will also be hosting our first Community Development Action Learning Set starting in October.
Action Learning is a unique way to tackle real problems or issues in order to get things done. Action Learning brings individuals together in small groups where they can explore issues around their direct experience and develop actions around them through the support and exploratory questions of a group.
This will be for a group of 6 and is open for anyone who has a focus on community engagement or community development as part of their work. It is a very structured and facilitated process that has 5 key elements:
• Issue holders arrive at their own action points and insights about real life work challenges
• Value comes from hearing others talk through problems and identifying options
• Leadership, questioning, listening and decision making skills are developed
• Learning comes from the topics shared and from reflecting on the group process
• A facilitator guides, encourages and maintains the structure of the session and the focus on learning
For those attending we will host 6 sessions and all members will get the opportunity to fully participate in being issue holders, helping colleagues explore questions, reflecting on learning etc.

We look forward to seeing you at these workshops and hope our training offer will support the capacity and sharing of good practice across the sector. If you have any enquiries, please contact one of our team.
