Information
This course offers you ongoing personal development towards becoming more involved in community. In a supportive, friendly, non-judgmental learning environment, you can grow in awareness of how we relate and co-operate in groups. It’s a place to explore how we are shaped by the society we grow up in and how we, in turn, shape society through our lives and actions.
Some of the Themes explored
Approach used
Personal, supportive, non-academic… through listening, reflecting and sharing, participants find meaning and gain knowledge from their own experience and the group becomes a learning community. This helps people to learn new skills, new attitudes or even entirely new ways of thinking. There are no exams!
Entry Requirements
No special prior qualifications are needed, just an interest in community, a willingness to use critical thinking and to interact with others. People on the course come from all sorts of backgrounds, meet as equals, learn from each other, become empowered and begin to dissolve social and cultural barriers.
Progression to further training
This course along with the SHEP Certificate in Personal Development, together comprise SHEP’s Foundation level of training. Graduates of the foundation level can go on to do further training with the Social and Health Education Project, including training courses in Group Facilitation, and other SHEP’s practitioner trainings.
