Community Organisers
In the past few weeks more information has been released by the Government a bout their plans to develop a Community Organising programme. We know now that there will be:
5,000 Community Organisers.- 500 will be full-time ‘Super’ organisers, and receive a bursery for their first year.
- 4,500 will work part-time and not receive a bursary.
- They are to be asked to work using a code of conduct/ethics.
- A national tender is out at present looking to identify an organisation to deliver the 5 year Government supported programme of training.
- Based on the models of Saul Alinsky and Freire.
