Our training is unique and powerful. We have distilled over a decade of research, implementation and expertise into all our training packages that deliver the IE 8-step framework. All our training is focused on local communities and places to painstakingly uncover and understand their specific strengths and challenges.
​
Our training involves local people at all levels and from all backgrounds who learn and work together on real solutions. This is training within communities, with communities and for communities. We work with leaders and decision-makers to develop shared goals and to support local practitioners.
​
Our training is evidence based and is focused on developing sustainable engagement long beyond our involvement. Practitioners can tackle both emerging and critical issues, alongside deep-rooted problems through our 8-step approach.
