The International Centre Division of International Development, University of Calgary, is pleased to announce a Summer Institute on Participatory Development from June 19-30, 1995.(The Summer Institute is run on a non-profit basis) (:-))
The Institute will provide a 4-day orientation to the principles, practice and theory of Participatory Development. The session will review where PD has been and how that history reflects upon the current state of the art. We will then expand our thinking to integrate concepts like civil society, social capital and ecological sustainability.
This will be followed by a choice of either:
1. A stream of study which focuses upon: Planning. Management and Evaluation of Participatory Development Projects - how to prepare for the unique challenges of being involved as funders, policy makers and/or field personnel; or
2. A stream of study which focuses upon a hands-on exploration of Community-based Environmental Impact Assessment.
Sessions will be led by international and Canadian facilitators who represent some of the field's most innovative and exciting authors, teachers and practitioners.
The conference will be of interest to individuals who need to make decisions within or about the field of development and are interested in a fresh look at issues of development in the 1990's and beyond. Participants will be expected to draw upon their own field experiences to contribute to course discussion.
Publication Option: Participants are encouraged to bring case studies from their own experience. Support from Institute staff will also be provided to assist in putting material into publishable form.
