Enabling Change

This 2 day master class in program design focuses on achieving change in complex social environments. You'll get the concepts, tools, and processes you need to design interventions that make a difference to seemingly intractable or "wicked" problems. And along the way you'll get the secrets to enable populations or groups to adopt new behaviours.

For those with existing or up-coming projects, the workshop acts as a project clinic, giving you a team of great collaborators to review and redevelop your project using using the Enabling Change process.

It's designed to meet the needs of sustainability officers, health promotion staff, natural resource management staff, road safety officers... anyone who works in the field of "human change".
