Inspiring, motivating and enabling real development
We have walked alongside a diverse selection of organisations as they learn and grow their community building initiatives, building up valuable experience that we would like to offer you. Keynote addresses, symposiums and master classes are excellent ways of bringing potential partners into a serious conversation about ABCD and community building. These environments are clarifying and invite people to make an informed commitment to a process that works locally.
Each journey has been different, but laced with similar dilemmas. Nurture Development have developed a strategic framework to support both newly founded initiatives and to offer sense checks to those further along on in their journey. Our Rapid Participatory Review offer is an opportunity to create a baseline assessment or even refresh your community building initiative.
