Then this FREE 1/2 day workshop is for you!

The City of Parramatta's Community Capacity Building Team run these free short workshops for community-based workers & volunteers to become familiar with the basics of project planning, monitoring and evaluation. The content is built on the Results-Based Management (Outcomes) framework. Methodology, tips and tools will be covered, and specifically in relation to community-based projects for a variety of social good outcomes.

If you wish to attend a workshop that focuses on Outcomes (identification and indicators), further dedicated workshops will be offered on this in September/October 2022 (Information available here). We are also offering a 3 part workshop series on building skills for collaboration in August, with details found here: "Skills for Collaboration Workshop Series".
