Strengthening Policy and Practice: meeting the challenges of working in complex environments is designed to draw on the experience and practice of participants, working in development, humanitarian aid or peacebuilding to influence internal policies and programmatic approaches. The course will identify how organisations can strive to balance their organisational mandate with the demands of working in complex and rapidly changing political contexts.

Turning the Tide is delighted to welcome US-based Training for Change and host two of their flagship courses: Training for Social Action Trainers (T-SAT) and Advanced Training of Trainers AToT). These intensive residential courses are for people who work with groups facilitating learning or process, or organising for change.
We know that the way we work is most effective with smaller groups, so places are limited. £350 course fee is inclusive of room and board for the entire period (including rest days). The venue is in Margate, Kent. Applications due 5 December 12.00 noon.

A one-day workshop exploring personal, organisational, cultural and community values.
