Do you want to understand more about how political power works in Australia?
Do you want to know more about your power as a community member to create positive change, and how to build your understanding and skills to do this?
The City of Parramatta invites Expressions of Interest from community members to participate in this 3 week (3 consecutive Saturdays) FREE training program, "Community Citizens" - June 16, 23 & 30, 2018.
Community Citizens has been developed by the Community Capacity Building Team for local communities - especially those who struggle to have their voices heard, are unsure how to increase their influence in decision making, and want to realise their power to create positive change in their communities.
WHO
We are seeking people who want to collaborate with others to create positive change in their community - from local up to national - and may already be working on projects, but just want to know more or consolidate what they have learned through experience.
CONTENT
The Community Citizens training program will cover:
Power, and the power that all citizens have (regardless of formal Citizenship status).
The three levels of governement in Australia and how they work.
Law and legal systems in Australia.
Persuasion and Negotiation Skills.
Media and Media Campaigns.
In addition to presentations by the facilitators, the program uses acitvities and group discussion as the methods of learning. A number of past and current world real-life stories of change will be used to help you explore, discuss, do and learn the core concepts and from the experiences of others. Prepare to be challenged!
A good grasp of English, including written, is required.
You will be provided with all learning materials, and be able to take your pack home with you at the end of the program.
