Moments from the practice
Workshops, circles and field visits
Earlier in the year International Water Centre supported myself and colleagues from The University of the South Pacific and Solomon Islands National University to take part in this 6 week course diving into diverse SOGIESC and development. Relevant to anyone working with or alongside communities in the development and humanitarian space. So many learnings, challenges to the way we practice, and chances to explore topics in a safe environment. Lana Woolf is a gentle and generous facilitator. Recommended!
