HOW DO WE BRAVELY STEP INTO CREATING CHANGE TOGETHER?

Monday 8th and Tuesday 9th February 2021

This 2 day Participatory Community Building training is underpinned by asset based community-led development (ABCD) and participatory leadership practices, patterns and processes in a participatory co-design framework. These approaches have been used effectively in community, business, government and non-government contexts worldwide to enable the inclusion and connection of diverse perspectives for deeper outcomes.

This is an opportunity to learn and share in new ways of working to co-create action in our communities.

Across the two days, attendees will learn a wide range of helpful and innovative practices and processes, as well as ways to implement them in a participatory and positive manner.
