SEAPCP ADVANCE COMMUNITY ORGANISING COURSE 2009
The year of the OX is bringing good fortune to us! SEAPCP will be organsing an advanced community organising course 2009 for selected graduates of the introductory courses conducted in 2007 and 2008!
The theme will be centered on "COMMUNITY ORGANISING IN TODAY'S GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS". It will explore how community organisers can respond to the serious impact of global recession on grassroots communities.
This year the host country will be Malaysia, the home ground of Course Director and Facilitator, Jo Hann Tan. We will show case the community organising processes in real situations in Malaysia among the urban poor, plantation workers, and indigenous peoples in Malaysia.
This course will explore topics beyond introductory themes and will hopefully bring the participants to a deeper understanding and practise of organising in their respective countries. This course will bring together about 21 selected participants from 9 Asian countries for 10 days in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.
Selected participants are requested to respond to their invitations within the next 2 weeks! As for those who were not selected, do not worry SEAPCP will be holding in-country CO courses in the near future to overcome language differences faced in regional courses where there is a mix of cultures and nationalities from all over Asia!
