  Community Learning Days
blank

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
