Clarity for a Change: Key Terms and Ideas in Community Development.

This glossy 80 page spiral bound book has been developed from the proposed SCDN Jargon Buster.
 
It contains six sections, covering topics such as 'communities', and 'groups and other organisations in communities'. Each section combines definitions of key terms with a narrative giving more information about each term, what it means, and issues for good practice in community development.
 
Copies will be sent to current SCDN members early in 2008. Non members still have time to join online via the link below.

LEAP for CLD

The Scottish Community Development Centre has been commissioned by Communities Scotland to revise LEAP for Community Learning & Development, which was first published in 1999. 

 

SCDN was invited to attend a stakeholders meeting to contribute towards the revised version which will be published early next year. 

 

The new version will link with ‘Delivering Change – understanding the outcomes for community learning and development’ which is the CLD outcomes framework being developed and published by Communities Scotland.

We are always looking for new ideas and topics for the web site and newsletter. If you have an idea or would be interested in writing an article, please email us using the link below.
