Over
the period of October to June the program unfolds
in a series of monthly, day-long learning sessions called
Community Learning Days. In each Community Learning
Day, we focus on a particular aspect of the community
in Victoria, as well as on the fundamental skills of
community leadership. Leaders in their fields participate
in Community Learning Days, voluntarily sharing their
wealth of knowledge, insights, skills, and experience
with learners. The sessions are held in a variety of
venues, moving around the community to such locations
as municipal halls, universities, the Work Point Gun
Room, and the Temple Emanuel.
The Community Learning Days are constantly evolving to reflect emerging community concerns. Some of the topics that have been covered in the past include:
- diversity and multi-cultural awareness
- ethics in leadership
- community governance
- corporate social responsibility
- non-profit organizations, boards, and fundraising
- arts and culture
- public safety
- creating the ideal community — vision and process
