Community development: the people perspective

$85.00

What is community development?

Community Development is never, ever ‘done’. It is a living, breathing, changing contextual space that is as varied as the community it embraces. It is acutely dependant on motivated leaders and participants acting in a way that matters to them for the betterment of their own social space. Discovering the bespoke opportunity in each locale can be challenging… but equally rewarding.

Inviting egalitarian conversation with community partners allows space for innovative programming and acknowledges the real and perceived barriers and solutions available.

In this webinar we will discuss some of the types of partnerships I have found to be most successful at different stages of the community lifecycle with ‘real-world’ examples. These stakeholders can include; Not for Profit, those in the education space, resident groups and different levels of government and more. I am equally interested in hearing your real experience examples as a learning for all of us.
