Planning and Managing for Transformational Change
17 - 20 April 2023
INTENSIVE (online optional) 
This course is designed for those seeking to update their skills and knowledge in the planning and management of community based programmes, and the running of organisations which seek to have a holistic impact on their communities and wider society, both in the global North and South.
We will examine the voluntary sector: its strengths, weaknesses, and key challenges and the specific issues facing Christian faith-based organisations as they seek to remain relevant and effective into the future.
Using a hands on approach participants will examine cutting edge development approaches and tools including strength based approaches, Theory of change, and Participatory approaches to monitoring, evaluation and learning. Power and systems theories and alternatives to project based approaches will also be explored together with tools for advocacy and peace-making. The challenges and opportunities of responding to humanitarian disasters will also be considered.
The course will be facilitated by Dr Mark Galpin who has extensive experience of development programme design and management, and leadership of faith based development organisations.
Those accessing Advanced Short Courses will be provided with relevant reading materials and other information to enable their full participation in the course.
ASC participants are not required to complete an assignment and will receive a certificate of participation on completion of the course.
