TRAINING OPTIONS

CSD has a series of training modules that explore different elements of working in or for community. Further information and registration forms for each course are available on PDF via the link on the title of each course.

Training available includes:

• ‘CULTURALLY SPEAKING’ 2 Day Public Workshop
  Towards a culturally sensitive, vigorous and productive cross cultural engagement.
  Today more than ever, effective intercultural awareness and cross cultural communication skills are fundamental to the success of projects and programs working with Aboriginal people and communities.
• Developing Community, Capacity and Spirit
  This workshop provides a simple and powerful framework for working with and in communities. Participants often find that it brings both clarity and renewed energy to their work.

• Paying Attention ­ the art of mindfulness at work
  In CSD’s training in ‘Developing Community, Capacity, and Spirit’, great emphasis is placed on ‘paying attention’. But, in the busy-ness of our working life this ‘paying attention’ can be difficult to do. We have therefore joined with Lifebalance Consulting to offer this new workshop on ‘Mindfulness’ ­ the art of genuinely paying attention.

• Community Engagement And Involvement
  This workshop will help you develop effective approaches to engaging and involving communities in decision making and community activity.

• Facilitating Meetings ­ from 3 ­ 300
  Meetings ­ from the smallest staff or team meeting to the largest public meeting - can be a frustrating waste of everyone’s time, or a powerful tool for moving forward. Success depends on good design and facilitation. This workshop will give you clarity and confidence in making meetings and workshops as effective as possible.

• Toward Partnership with Aboriginal People
  This workshop (in partnership with Kim Bridge, Noel Nannup and Sandra Hill) explores how we, as non-Aboriginal people can build better relationships with Aboriginal people.

All of these courses can be made available to your organisation for a lump sum. In addition, we are happy to work with you to clarify training needs and provide 'tailor made' workshops for your agency.
