At Nurture Development we recognise the value of a good conversation.
We see ourselves first and foremost as conversation partners – helping to facilitate and precipitate meaningful conversations firstly between citizens within communities, and secondly between communities and the agencies that serve them, all with the aim of moving from top down service delivery to supporting bottom-up citizen led action, and supporting agencies to affectively come alongside communities.
Nurture Development offers a menu of support options which include training, consulting, evaluation and mentoring that can be tailored to suit your specific context. Our involvement can start with a key note address, a two-day training event or a long term ongoing relationship – our menu of supports can be accessed individually, sequentially or as part of an individually tailored; coherent package, that goes beyond training and support towards real transformation.
