Practice Exchanges

As part of our professional development programme offer for members, IACD organises study visits for members to interact with each other and learn from other communities’ experiences of organising, development and empowerment.  IACD Practice Exchanges are an opportunity to participate in an inspiring one or two weeks with up to 20 other community developers from around the world, together with local practitioners and activists and to visit community development projects in the local country. We started this programme in 2004 with our first study trip being to Cuba. Since then we have organised trips to visit projects in India (three times), Nepal, Indonesia, Ireland, Chile and Scotland.
