CWI/AIEB
Continuous Practice Development Initiative
CWI and AIEB are introducing a Continuous Practice Development (CPD) initiative to create opportunities for community workers to build on their skills and knowledge in areas of relevance to community work practice*.
This initial series of workshops will explore community work methods and approaches to addressing key issues with a focus on the application of the learning to community work practice. Toolkits to accompany each workshop will be developed and will be made available to all participants following the workshops.
All participants will receive a Continuous Practice Development Certificate of Completion on completion of each workshop.
Each workshop will be held from 12pm to 3pm on Zoom
