Sneak Preview: Four new videos provide an introduction into community based programming for our three most popular training programs.

• OL 101: Designing and Funding International Development Projects.
• OL 201: Designing and Funding Nonprofit Projects.
• OL 341: Designing and Funding Community-Based Adaptation Projects.

These three training programs and the videos share a common link in involving communities in project design and management.

 

THE VIDEOS
We have developed the videos—three of which provide an introduction to community based programming—and one of which is an actual “how to” assignment screencast on developing a project outline from a participatory, community needs assessment.

• 1. Introduction to Designing & Funding International Development Projects
• 2. Discussion on Participatory Needs Assessments
• 3. Screencast on Developing a Project Outline from the Results of a Participatory Needs Assessment
• 4. About Course Facilitator Tim Magee

I urge you to take a peek at these videos—they are short—but but packed with information about the on-the-ground realities of development.

 

I’ve enjoyed developing these videos because they mitigate the formality of written lectures and allow me to be myself.

 

I have developed many friends through our online courses, and it occurred to me when I saw the videos that these friends have possibly never seen me before (nor have I seen them!). So I’m hoping this will open up new bridges of communication.

 

Enjoy! I look forward to continuing to work together through our training programs.

 

Sincerely,

 

Tim Magee, Executive Director
