I recently completed the 'Community Development Policy' course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say that it was a thoroughly enriching experience. As a researcher from Portugal, I was interested in exploring the theoretical foundations of community development policy, and this course provided a comprehensive overview of the key concepts and frameworks. The instructor's approach was meticulous and detailed, with a focus on the historical and philosophical underpinnings of community development. I appreciated the opportunity to engage with the course materials, which included a wide range of academic articles, book chapters, and policy documents. The course discussions were also lively and thought-provoking, with participants from diverse backgrounds sharing their perspectives and insights. While I would have liked to see more emphasis on European examples and case studies, overall I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to anyone looking for a rigorous and in-depth exploration of community development policy.
