Community Development: The Art of Faciltation and Workshop Design

At the core of every community developer is a commitment to transformational teaching which unleashes within people the competencies to change their local community. Individual and group learning is possible when community members are treated with respect, feel safe to explore new ideas and can readily apply new learning to their present context. Based on both the theory and practice of adult learning and the biblical principles of discipleship, participants will develop their personal capacity to facilitate both trainings and meetings, and
design workshops, to move communities a step closer to peace and well-being. This course is also valuable for lay and ordained leaders in the church who may be called to lead adult Christian education courses, focus groups, meetings or other learning events.
