Um námskeiðið
Students will explore the power of community and role agency plays in transforming community futures. Community and regional economic development and transformation depends on a suite of tools and frameworks. Theory of Change and Logic Models applied directly in the course learning experience provide a visual path to the application of tools in support of community development. Place Making, Asset Based Community Development (ABCD), and Community Capital Frameworks are examples of some of the material students will cover in the course. Students can expect to routinely apply the tools of the course to local and regional examples of community development.
