We get it ! Working out what learning you really need, and which program will be right for you can be hard. We’re available for a quick chat to help you work out which one is the best place to start.
Our approach
As a starting point, ACRE works with your community group, organisation or business to understand the needs and capacity of learners and identify any specific cultural requirements.
We then co-design guided learning programs that are underpinned by a curated bundle of learning modules that participants can complete in their own time. We offer you the opportunity to join virtually facilitated discussions to:
- share insights, learnings and questions as a group
- explore takeaway actions for participants to apply to their idea / project / business
- identify opportunities to implement learnings promote peer to peer learning
- provide opportunities for active networking
The workshops we offer focus on core social enterprise concepts, such as:
- Introduction to social enterprise
- Exploring your leadership styles
- Ideation
- Design thinking
- Social Impact
We host webinars and can offer participants access to additional one-on-one support via virtual ‘Open Door’ sessions.
