Further Information
What is CLD?
CLD is a field of professional practice that enables people to identify their own individual and collective goals, to engage in learning and take action to bring about change for themselves and their communities.
via http://cldstandardscouncil.org.uk/about-cld/what-is-community-learning-and-development-cld/
CLD uses a range of formal and informal methods of learning and social development with individuals and groups in their communities.
CLD programmes and activities are developed in dialogue with communities and participants, working particularly with those excluded from participation in the decisions and processes that shape their lives.
Through working in these ways, CLD extends the reach of democracy and widens its scope.
