Community-Centred Development Foundations 

Self-guided Course

Embark on a self-guided learning journey that reimagines how real change takes root—starting from within communities themselves. Through interactive content, real-world examples, and reflective prompts, you'll explore the foundations of community-centered development and what makes local change truly sustainable.

Move at your own pace as you examine a range of development models—from top-down strategies to grassroots movements—building a practical framework you can apply in your own setting. The course invites you to see communities not by their challenges, but by their strengths, potential, and creativity.

You'll also have the chance to connect with fellow learners during two check-ins—one in July and one in August—to exchange insights, ask questions, and reflect on how these ideas are showing up in your context.

This is a flexible, reflective, and action-oriented journey—designed to spark fresh ways of thinking and doing community work, wherever you are.
