Course description

The purpose of the course is to explore community development approaches to local economic development. Community Economic Development (CED) is attracting much attention both locally and internationally as an approach to revitalising local economies, creating employment, responding to globalisation and building strong local communities. But CED also means many different things to many different people. Therefore, for CED to fulfil any of these possible goals we must begin to understand what the different discourses, frameworks and practices of CED are, and how they have been/can be enacted in different contexts. This course explores both different practice frameworks and different contexts of CED locally (i.e. within SE QLD and Australia) and internationally. This course is delivered as 6 full day workshops during semester.

Please note that this course may not run if there are less than 20 enrolments.
