This is not a Dublin North, North East Recovery College course but we wanted to let you know about it as one of the way in which we work is using community development principles so it might be a nice way to learn about community development in the community.  For more information please contact Joanna or Lynda.

The course provides an insight into the theory and practice of management and leadership in community organisations with a strong focus on developing leadership capacity.
