Taking back-to-back courses.
Coady Institute certificate programs are offered back-to-back so you can take multiple certificates over a six-week period, concentrating learning time and travel investment.
As an example, you could take Advocacy and Citizen Engagement followed by Good Governance and Social Accountability Tools and then Community-Driven Health Impact Assessment. Similarly in the fall you could take Community-Based Natural Resource Management followed by Learning Organizations and Change - or any other combination you choose. With this option you will have the opportunity to study multiple development areas intensively in a concentrated time. To apply for this option, simply indicate the certificates you are interested in on the application form.
Our 19-week Diploma in Development Leadership provides a framework for just and sustainable development based on a participatory, bottom up, holistic approach. Its overall purpose is to strengthen the capacity of development leaders to effectively motivate and support people in the development of their communities and societies.
Listen as David Fletcher, manager of education programs, and Olga Gladkikh, veteran Coady Institute facilitator, discuss our philosophy of leadership. This half-hour discussion can be streamed or downloaded at our new podcast home - http://coady.libsyn.com.
Conducted by Coady staff, our educational programs are highly participatory, providing candidates with an opportunity to share ideas and to exchange experiences with each other and with Coady staff. A wide variety of presentation, case study, and experiential and participatory educational methods are used.
