The Whanganui Learning Centre team brings skills and experience from the fields of community development, adult and community education, educational leadership, and research and evaluation. It is a multiple award winner and a Category One NZQA registered Training Provider. The mission of the Whanganui Learning Centre Trust is to work from a holistic and flax-roots model of development where the learner and communities drive their own development.
Those presenting include: Victoria Campbell, an educator and designer with extensive experience in the tertiary education sector in New Zealand and the Middle East; Deb Hill, an academic researcher and educator with experience across all levels of education; Kellee Bartlett, a driver of flax-roots development in community and Gail Harrison, a community developer and educator. The group will be supported by Rihi Ponga, a member of the WLC team.
In this workshop, you will be an active participant in the examination of assumptions, mind-sets and traditional models of learning and development. You will interact with the team who will share an approach to working with people to affect change from within. The team will give you tools to work with by examining specific cases and reflecting on teaching, learning and development practice.
