At the end of February, 26 Community Development students and staff members from the School of Education undertook a 5 day intense study trip to Belfast. The purpose was to see Community Development practice in a different context and to share learning and reflections with their communites back home.

The programme kicked off the minute we landed at Belfast International airport, there waiting for us was our very own city sightseeing bus that took us on a whistle stop tour of the city,helping students get a sense of the city and its suroundings.

Here we have the latest ‘round up’ from the Brimbank Learning Community through it’s newsletter “Celebrating Learning”.  Brimbank is a council area on the north-west fringes of Melbourne (Australia), and its current Community Learning Strategy can be obtained through the contacts provided within the Newsletter.
