WICT Programme 2019 - 2020
Funded by the Department for Communities (DfC) and Cooperation Ireland, CWSAN and COSTA worked with Women Intervention Partnership (WIP), Training for Women Network (Operational Lead), Co-operation Ireland (Strategic Lead), Foyle Women’s Information Network and Intercomm to deliver training over 6 months (1 October 2019 – 31 March 2020).
The workshops were mainly discussion-based and facilitated in a supportive, accessible and encouraging way and include a Good Practice Study Visit and a high profile Guest Speaker. All activities are provided free of charge and assistance is given with transport.
The total time commitment is 51 hours guided learning or 8 full day sessions.
This is a new programme for CWSAN/COSTA - a very successful Induction Session to enrol participants was held in November 2019 with 20 women registered.
This Programme offers great scope to use the skills and competencies of Network staff and enables further diversification and partnership working. This is an exciting opportunity to expand on new approaches to building community development capacity via a motivational, self-efficacy and Leadership approach which also promotes physical and mental health and well-being.
This year we were absolutely delighted to have the Right Honourable Baroness May Blood MBE as one of our truly inspirational Guest Speakers.
Although a final site visit and closure session could not be held at the end of the course due to the Coronavirus outbreak, we aim to resume this very successful project again with a new cohort as soon as possible.
COSTA and CWSAN can now also offer ILM Level 2 Accreditation in Leadership as a result of this new programme.
In year one 15 local women successfully completed the course in March 2020 and gained their ILM Leadership Qualification.
