Please find below details of forthcoming 'Introduction to Participatory
Appraisal' training courses, coordinated and facilatated by Northumbria
University's PEANuT project - more info (and the booking download form) can
be found by clicking on the PEANuT link). Apologies for multiple/cross
postings.
When are the next courses?
Bookings are now being taken for the following courses:
2003
* 1st - 5th September
* 10th - 14th November
2004
* 26th - 30th January
* 19th - 23rd April
What's the course like?
The course is run over 5 full days (Monday - Friday 9.30 am - 4.30 pm -
attendance for all 5 days is a course requirement) and focuses on learning
by doing. During the course participants learn about the background and
philosophies of participatory appraisal and how to use the tools and
techniques with confidence. Pre-arranged fieldwork placements enable
students (in teams) to practice their skills in an ongoing, real-world
project. Themes of previous placements have included homelessness,
consulting young people and financial exclusion.
How much will it cost?
Full cost places are £380, and voluntary/not for profit sector places are
£190 (inclusive of all course materials and refreshments and lunches on 4
days, but not overnight accommodation). Places are strictly limited (16
participants) and are allocated on a first come, first served basis, so
please book early. If you are unable to make these dates but are interested
in receiving training at another time, or, if you are keen to attend, but
have difficulties meeting the costs of the course, please get in touch.
How do I book a place?
You can simply fill out the booking form via the download link and either
return it as an email attachment or post it to the address at the bottom of
the form. Bookings will only be confirmed upon receipt of a completed
booking form - we do not take telephone bookings. Please note - unless we
are able to fill your place, cancellations within 4 weeks of the course
running will only receive 50% reimbursement of fees, and no reimbursement
will be made with under 1 week to go.
