This eight part learning opportunity is for people who are passionate about their communities and are interested in creating positive community change in Calgary.
Together with other learners, you will deepen your knowledge, learn tools, and build relevant skills that you can use to strengthen your own communities.
Our curriculum was developed through a collaborative process with input from Calgary residents, community development practitioners, and others in the field of community development and leadership development.
Topics explored include community change, visioning, asset mapping, ally building, and planning. You can explore the curriculum on our website at https://www.calgarycdli.com/success-in-community-action.
