IACD Training Session 17 January 2025: Working with International Standards to Strengthen Community Development Practice
Fri 17 Jan 2025 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM ACST
Online, Zoom
Description
Join us in January for a 90-minute training session on working with the International Standards for Community Development!
Facilitated by Michelle Dunscombe (IACD Vice Chair and Trustee for the Oceania Region)
IACD published the International Standards for Community Development, in English, at the 2018 World Community Development Conference in Maynooth, Ireland. They have been adopted by several national professional CD associations and translated into several languages (with more translations in development). You can access the Standards, and a Summary version here.
The Standards can be used by practitioners working directly with communities, community development educators and researchers, and practitioners within government agencies and NGOs. IACD members are using them to:
- Plan and evaluate work
- Promote what practitioners are doing
- Plan learning curricula
- Support student learning and assessment of progress
