Getting Started in Community-Led Development Online Workshop
Join us for an engaging and interactive online workshop where we delve into community-led development in your unique context. Whether you’re new to this approach or seeking to bring a community-led mindset into your projects, this session will support you with the skills and tools needed to kickstart your community-led initiatives.
Community-led approaches offer great freedom as there is no strict formula for how things should be done. While there are numerous possible starting points, some key skills and tools can empower you to kickstart your community-led initiatives.
In this 2.5 hour workshop, we will design powerful questions that unlock potential and explore effective community engagement strategies. You’ll be inspired to frame questions through a strengths-based lens, explore the art of stakeholder mapping, and discover innovative approaches to community involvement.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have:
- A fresh perspective on framing questions to harness strengths
- A practical stakeholder mapping process
- New ideas for community engagement strategies and how to activate these insights
Throughout the session you will have the opportunity to connect with others from across Aotearoa, and learn from the experiences of other communities that are beginning their community-led journey.
Our next workshop will be held in early 2025.
