Communities Leading - Mark Cabaj Workshops

» 20/05/2011, Posted by Site Admin

Inspiring Communities, with local partners, is delighted to bring Mark Cabaj to New Zealand next month and to offer the opportunity of full day workshops.

Mark is an associate of Tamarack - an Institute for Community Engagement in Canada - and, until recently, was the Director of the highly successful Vibrant Communities initiative. He has a long association with Inspiring Communities and is a great supporter of the growth of community-led development in New Zealand. We highly recommend Mark's sessions which are always very useful, practical and thoroughly enjoyable.

Mark brings together his practical, on the ground experience, a sharp sense of humour and leading edge thinking. If you've not had the opportunity to meet Mark on his two previous visits - or if you have and would like to hear more from him -download the flyers for details.

About the workshops:
The interactive workshops are for change-makers, community leaders, policy makers and community-led development practitioners from all sectors: central and local government, Iwi, business, tertiary education and research, consultancies, community sector and local communities.

They will focus on the knowledge and skills needed to work effectively "in place" with local people leading - including:

Designing and supporting collaborative, community-led initiatives

Recognising and working with simple, complicated, complex and chaotic issues - what's useful to know and what do we need to do differently?

How to understand and measure community change and results.

The workshops are being provided by Inspiring Communities working together with local partners in Wellington, the Waikato and the Bay of Plenty. Places will be limited and to help cover costs there is a charge for these workshops.
