In a nutshell is an exciting, free, ten-week online course delivered through the Academy for Sustainable Communities (ASC) learning portal. Participants work with other professionals, community workers and volunteers across the public, private and community sectors to develop a shared understanding of the sustainable communities agenda.The course will help develop a real understanding of the term ’sustainable community’ by exploring the national and regional policy context and perspectives. It will also consider the roles, responsibilities and skills of the various organisations and individuals responsible for delivery and examine putting theory into practice. The course is facilitated by a highly experienced tutor who provides feedback, advice and guidance from start to finish. You will be expected to set aside approximately three hours per week to take part in online discussion forums and active learning modules which enable the sharing of ideas and experiences. The course cost of £100 per participant is being fully funded by the ASC. For more information or to reserve a place call Kelly Brewell on 0113 394 4574, email k.brewell@ascskills.org.uk
