• Demonstrate critical awareness about the role and practice of designers and planners working with communities;
• Explore a variety of methods and tools for enacting an Action Learning project;
• Acquire methods and tools which will enable you to design an Action Learning initiative and evaluate its outcomes in relation to both learners and communities.
