ABCD Training Part 2
This training offer builds upon Nurture Development’s ABCD Training Part 1. The two day workshop is an opportunity for citizens, practitioners and agency leaders to develop a framework for the effective establishment of Asset-Based Community Development initiatives in the local context. As with all our training at Nurture Development, Part 2 brings together the ABCD Institute’s 30 years of community development research in North America, with Nurture Development’s 21 years of international research and practical experience of community building and pioneering approaches in other strength based work.
