In an environment where people are facing increasing barriers to services and growing disconnection from meaningful support, Community Development (CD) offers us a model and framework to drive connection whilst building upon strengths in individuals and communities.


This innovative workshop will discuss the key values, principles and concepts of Community Development, and explore how these might inform our day-to-day practice to support sustainable outcomes at both the individual and community level.
