Timor-Leste: Better Development: A Justice Based Approach, Timor-Leste

Dili, Timor-Leste, 29-31 May 2019

Our three-day training will revolutionize the way you work on humanitarian, development, social change, and environmental justice initiatives both professionally and personally.

• CRITICAL THINKING: You will develop the skills to think critically about the systematic challenges facing our sector and wider society and your role in solving them.
• LEADERSHIP FOR IMPACT: We will develop you as a leader and make you more effective in bringing about positive change and lasting impact.
• TRANSFORMATIVE PROGRAMMING: Justice and rights are the cornerstone of humanitarian, development, social change, and environmental work. With a Justice Based Approach, we reflect on why -- after 25 years of rights-based approaches -- inequality, environmental destruction, discrimination, and impunity are bigger challenges than ever before. During the training, we take cutting-edge approaches one step further by addressing the significant gaps that still exist in human rights based programming. Addressing power and privilege through critical thinking and reflection improves our effectiveness for grounded change led by the people we serve. We will develop your ability to ask challenging questions and share tools with you that will transform the way you design programmes, lead your teams and live your life.

Our trainings are participatory, innovative and proven to be incredibly impactful.

WHAT

We will critically challenge and explore many assumptions about methodology and practice in the following areas:

• Strategic Leadership
• Programme Design
• Evidence-based decision making
• Participatory Approaches
• System Analysis
• Privilege and Power
• Rights Based Programming

We will also explore a number of innovative and exciting practical approaches that you can apply to your work.

The training will challenge you, inspire you and give you the tools to lead environmental, social change, development and humanitarian work that is truly transformative.

After receiving a lot of requests, we have decided to return to Asia with a series of eight more trainings in 2019. We will be returning to Bangladesh, Nepal, Timor Leste, Laos and Cambodia and bringing our training to Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea and the UK for the first time. See our website for full schedule.
