Dear Colleagues:
On behalf of the Esperanza Network, you are cordially invited to the Training Symposium on Environmental, Economic and Social Sustainability (TSES) to be held from May 25-30, 2014 in San Diego, United States.
The focus of this Symposium is to train the larger development community to more effectively support community-driven efforts by combining the latest research with best practices from the field in a supportive peer-learning environment. The symposium uses a multi-sector, participatory approach that focuses on empowerment of people as both the ends and means of a sustainable development process. Rather than teaching prescriptive solutions to community problems, we provide you with the tools to use the community's input and vision to create options and solutions that truly meet community needs.
About the Symposium:
The symposium includes training courses and sessions and uses the flexibility of direct delivery to help you learn through case studies, exercises, and group discussions, providing a complete learning environment. You will learn from, and share experiences with, practitioners working in the field around the world. These courses and sessions give experienced practitioners a fresh perspective and provide novices and volunteers the training they need to be successful working in the field of development. Details and information can be found at http://www.esperanzanetwork.org/symposium/
Topics and Main Activities:
The topic of 2014 TSES will be "Environmental, Economic and Social Sustainability". Divided into groups, participants will be engaged in a series of activities, including Themed Sessions, Roundtable Sessions, Workshops/Interactive Presentation, Poster or Exhibit Session, Colloquium. In this process, we aim to inform participants of the concepts, practices, the recent developments and challenges on sustainable development in the environmental, economic and social fields.
The training courses includes: Approaches to Community Development, Microfinance, Social Entrepreneurship, Development and the Politics of Empowerment, and many more. The detailed list of courses and description is available at http://www.esperanzanetwork.org/symposium/trainingcourses.html
Benefits and Outcomes:
This training symposium is designed for people who plan to work or volunteer in community development, or who already work in this field and want to advance their careers. You will be prepared with practical tools to meet today's challenges as project directors, community leaders, grassroots activists, funders, and field workers in community-based organizations and governmental and non-governmental organizations. With a wide variety of electives, you are able to tailor the program to meet your needs and interests.
Participants:
This symposium will benefit development practitioners, project directors, and volunteers working with local or international NGOs. Government officials, funding agencies, community leaders, extension workers, and relief workers making the transition to development (or post disaster reconstruction), students, and academics will also find these courses useful for their work and studies.
