Community Engagement for Social Change
True community engagement is not just about outreach — it's about building lasting, respectful relationships that centre community voices in driving change. This course equips workers with tools and frameworks to engage meaningfully with diverse communities, foster collective action, and support grassroots leadership.
Introduction to Human Rights and Social Justice Frameworks
Human rights and social justice are foundational to ethical, inclusive, and equitable community work. This course introduces key concepts and frameworks that guide practice, advocacy, and service delivery in line with the rights and dignity of all people.
Supporting Peer-Led Models of Support
Peer-led models place lived experience at the heart of service delivery and social change. This course helps workers understand how to collaborate with, elevate, and sustain peer leadership in ethical and empowering ways — while avoiding tokenism, gatekeeping, or co-optation.
