Notes: Your Case Study

This case study is for a Community-Led Development process you have facilitated and should cover all aspects of Tasks 1, 2 and 3 as detailed in the section notes for each of these.

Your case study may be of a specific hui/meeting or workshop, or of a longer term process of facilitating a CLD initiative or activity (e.g. getting underway or sustaining a particular activity like a community dinner, local newsletter or multi-stakeholder collaboration). Choose a case study where you can provide relevant supporting written documents and find appropriate people able to give attestations as evidence of your CLD facilitation skills.

You will outline:

• What you planned (Task 1). 
• How you adapted your plan to facilitate the process effectively (Task 2).
• Reflections on your facilitation practice (Task 3).

Relevant examples of CLD facilitation for this EduBit may include:

• Facilitation (or co-facilitation) of hui/meetings/processes or workshops with any stakeholders (e.g. residents, community groups, local council, churches, schools, iwi, hapū and/or government departments working for community-led solutions around local issues and opportunities (e.g. a community event sharing local ideas about a better future).
• Contributing to the facilitation of a community-led initiative over time as an active resident, someone employed by a CLD initiative, a supporter/enabler of CLD from within your primary work role (e.g. in local or central government, a funding organisation, a business, iwi or hapū organisation, school or NGO), getting a community garden or kai sharing initiative started.
