Knowledge Designs to Change
Certificate Series
Knowledge work is not new, but it is an increasingly recognizable field within philanthropy and grant funded change efforts. The work is grounded in the history of social research demonstration projects, learning and evaluation efforts, and information management and technology. Today knowledge practitioners are embracing a more engaged approach that centers shared meaning making as the heart of knowledge work.
The Knowledge Designs to Change Certificate series builds on the practical desires of change agents involved in grant-funded efforts. The certificate embraces a partnership & coaching approach where individuals develop both awareness and hands-on skills in their own organization, community, or network. Participants can also tap into co-facilitation and analysis support, on an as-needed basis, if the work they are envisioning requires additional support.
Through the partnership, participants build capacity as we, together, and with a growing community of practice, activate a more grounded alignment of knowledge activities and equitable change intentions.
Whether you are new to knowledge work or looking to reflect and refresh your approach, this development series can support you in expanding, deepening, and strengthening your knowledge practice with a deep commitment to building equity potential.
