I am very excited to share our latest development at Village In The City! We are launching this short self-paced online course to introduce you to why neighbourhood community building is a great thing to do and the different elements of a Village In The City. For everyone who has joined our community with an interest in developing your neighbourhood, this is a great place to start.
The programme takes about an hour to do, and is split into five modules. You can complete those modules at any time at your convenience – all together, in short bursts or over a period. There are some videos to watch, some short readings, and some quick activities to connect the ideas with your own neighbourhood.
This one-hour online self-paced course will:
- Introduce you to the Village In The City project
- Get you thinking about the benefits of building micro-local community where you are
- Show you the six key elements of a Village In The City, to help you see what might be already there in your community and what you can build on
- Help you to identify your ‘patch’ – the neighbourhood where you can start to focus your attention
- Introduce some of our free resources and help you choose what to do next
Best of all, the course is FREE to members of our community. You can access is right now in the Courses section of the site. If you are not yet a member, our Mighty Networks community is free to join and we’d love to have you with us. You can join us by clicking here. The approval process is manual so there may be a short delay – please be patient.
