KEY BENEFITS OF THE COURSE
This course aims to enhance participants' understanding and appreciation of the importance of youth engagement and participation in local governance. Upon completion, participants can expect to gain the following key benefits:
METHODOLOGY AND PLATFORM This course will be delivered through a hybrid approach, comprising 75% asynchronous and 25% synchronous components. The self-directed asynchronous portion can be completed at the participant's own pace, anytime and anywhere, as long as they have access to the required technology. It will involve watching video lectures, completing assignments, and participating in an online forum where participants can share insights, ideas, and opinions on assigned topics. This portion will be accessible via the CLRG website platform, and participants are expected to plan and allocate their time accordingly. The synchronous component, which will be conducted via Zoom, will consist of a webiscussion where participants can ask questions, present their completed assignments, and share their group outputs from the online forum. This synchronous session will comprise 25% of the course and provide an opportunity for participants to engage in live discussions and exchanges with their peers and the course facilitators.
