Spring Semester at the Coady International Institute

 

Please consider joining us for this exciting new spring semester at the Coady International Institute. Generous scholarships are available for most students from the global south. Click here for application forms.

 

The Coady Institute has been offering professional community development training for over 50 years. Some of our most popular offerings are three-week practical, focused certificate programs. These programs are offered by experienced Coady staff with decades of experience in the global south. They use adult education methods to share their own wealth of knowledge and skills, and facilitate the reflection and sharing of knowledge and experiences between participants.

Coady staff are joined by associates who are known for their own expertise and practical work in the field. Participants are drawn from experienced cbos, ngos, social justice groups and government departments from around the world. In each class of approximately 30 participants there may be 15 countries represented.

In the spring of 2011 we will be offering five of these certificate programs in different combinations. We are thrilled to have had well known leaders from around the world as facilitators for these courses. People like Emily Sikazwe, Executive Director of Women for Change in Zambia and Malcolm Harper from the UK.

You could take one certificate over three weeks or combine two certificates over seven weeks to deepen your knowledge and skills in two different areas of practice.

For example, you could take Community Development Leadership by Women followed by Advocacy and Citizen Engagement or Community-Based Microfinance followed by Livelihoods and Markets or any other combination.
