Lot of support to help you pursue your goals
What would you like to do? Work directly with stakeholders of neighborhoods and towns to help their places become better places to live, work and play for more people? Help organizations become better at creative placemaking? Shape laws or governmental practices?
In this program, you can follow a leadership track: Place Leadership, Organization Leadership, or Policy Leadership, and work on a set of strategies that can help you reach your goals faster and better.
To get there, you:
- Complete a short series of on-demand courses that explore the core competencies of creative placemaking.
- Participate in a two-day in-person residency in the United States in September 2022. Location to be announced by May 2022.
- Complete six (6) Deep Learning courses. All students complete a course in systems design and evaluation, then a course on community building. Then you can choose four of eight courses: community development, community engagement, cultural ecosystems, destination marketing and development, facilitation and mediation, local economic development, managing gentrification, or site planning.
- Participate in monthly leadership and peer coaching sessions with other students in your track
- Produce a capstone -- a set of strategies to help a specific neighborhood or town, influence the work of an organization, or change a law or government practice.
