Dear Colleagues,</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;"><br>
We are delighted to invite you to the 2014 Training Workshops in Sustainable Development that will be held in Seattle, United States on January 27th through February 1st, 2014.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;"><br>
The Charitas Network is conducting Capacity Building Training Workshops designed for people who plan to work or volunteer in community development, or who already work in this field and want to advance their careers. The Charitas Network uses as its basis, a framework of rights-based development and the Charitas Network Approach. This multi-sectoral, participatory approach focuses on the empowerment of people as both the ends and means of a genuine sustainable development process. We are training and consulting with organizations from around the world.</span></div>

<b>Overview:</b></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">This program uses a multi-sector, participatory approach that focuses on empowerment of people as both the ends and means of a sustainable development process. Rather than teaching prescriptive solutions to community problems, we provide you with the tools to use the community’s input and vision to create options and solutions that truly meet community needs. The program helps you learn through case studies, exercises, and group discussions, providing a complete learning environment. You will learn from, and share experiences with, practitioners working in the field around the world. This program gives experienced practitioners a fresh perspective and provide novices and volunteers the training they need to be successful working in the field of development.</span></div>
