SANDBAG ‘s is launching its 2012 Rainbow Training Program by offering you an innovative range of flexible training and learning opportunities

 |
You can sing your own rainbow too by selecting from different streams of learning experiences and methodologies. This learning will be underpinned by a project you design which might be based in your neighbourhood, community or in the context of your organisational work. This is a unique opportunity for you and perhaps even your organisation to participate in holistic, integrated learning experiences with peers, mentors and highly experienced practitioners/trainers. You can design a project that is ongoing or is completed as a part of your learning program. You can also opt to have this learning accredited. If you are a manager spending a precious training budget, it is important that your staff bring their learning back to enhance the work of the organisation. You will know this is a worthwhile investment because the learning will be evident in your workplace with a specific agreed project being designed and implemented over the four sessions.
If you are an employee or a community member who wants to learn about working with others, to bring about social, community, business, bureaucratic or environmental change for the common good, then this is a great opportunity to learn more about how to do this in tried and true ways. In this program of learning you do not need to bring any prior knowledge about community development just a desire to learn and share what you do know about working with others. This learning and associated knowledge base has been successfully used by people involved in many areas human endeavour in Australia and around the world: neighbourliness, helping systems to be accountable, citizen participation, social capital building activities, work in health care, the arts, cultural development, environmental protection and care, community centre’s', housing and homelessness, social enterprise development, local assets building, income support, education, adult learning, advocacy, social campaign's, mental health work, transport and mobility, child care, change and response to individual and community needs and issues affecting people who are socially isolated, frail and aged, children and with people who have needs related to disabilities, the work of indigenous people to achieve social justice and basic human rights, work to enable the expression of human rights with people who are migrant and refugees. As social beings we need to work together to continue to create a world where the environment is protected and sustained, where people everywhere of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities are able to meet basic needs and to realize their potential to be all they might be.
This course will assist you to realize more of your ability to contribute to processes of working together to build such a world. To be more fully in a place we love with people we love doing things that matter…. We are engaging very experienced community work practitioners who are also trainers of community work practice to deliver a range of innovative learning products: Bea Rogan and Maria Tennant and others will create the learning experiences, give valuable input and support your efforts to achieve your learning goals.
