Community Development and Leadership Training

The expectation of the IB Diploma CAS program at Brent is that students will participate in a community based service project at some point throughout the two years of the program.

On October 25, there will be a leadership training on how to carry out basic community development analysis and how to organize and structure a community development program.






This workshop will ensure that your CAS service projects are in line with IB requirements:

The general principle, sketched out in the section “The nature of creativity, action, service”, that the “rights, dignity and autonomy of all those involved [in service activities] are respected”, means, among other things, that the identification of needs, towards which a service activity will be directed, has to involve prior communication and full consultation with the community or individual concerned. This approach, based on a collaborative exchange, maximizes both the potential benefits to the recipients and the learning opportunities for the students.

Ideally, such prior communication and consultation will be face-to-face and will involve the students themselves. Where this is not possible, schools need to work with appropriate partners or intermediaries, such as NGOs (non-governmental organizations), and make every effort to ensure both that the service provided is appropriate, and that the students are able to understand the human consequences of their work, for both individuals and communities.

Where: Brent School - Little Theater/Griffiths Theater

When: October 25 - 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM - This training normally takes 4 days but is being condensed in order to fit the specific needs of Brent students.

Who: Grade 11 and Grade 12 IB students (Workshop leaders will be current Peace Corps volunteers working in communities in the Philippines.)

Why: This training will prepare you to be able to contribute effectively in the community service projects that you engage in.
