Health care, rural infrastructure, the environment…no matter what the
issue, public policies affect every aspect of our lives!
The Rural Communities Impacting Policy (RCIP) Project is offering
free workshops throughout Nova Scotia for community groups interested
in changing public policies. This might take the form of changing
existing policies that hinder our rural communities or enacting new
policies to help them.
RCIP has two community trainers available to work with community
groups that are interested in learning more about policy change and
how to make it happen. The workshops are as follows:
Workshop1:
Introductionto Policy and Policy Change
This session looks at what public policy is, how it affects our
everyday lives and how we as citizens can affect policy change.
Workshop2:
Researchand Policy Change
This session looks at the role of social science research in a
community organization’s policy change work.
Workshop3:
UsingTools for Doing Social Science Research
This session is about how to access some useful tools in doing social
science research as part of policy change work, including how to make
best use of the RCIP website.
Workshop4:
Creatinga Policy Change Strategy
This session works on actual policy issues that community groups
identify for development of a policy change strategy.
These workshops can be done in two one-day sessions, four (2) two-
hour sessions or in a series of evenings. The workshops will be
customized to suit the particular needs of a group and can also be
delivered to a number of groups that are working together on a common
policy change issue.
A brief promotional presentation can also be made to outline the
workshops to a community group.
If your community group is interested in exploring policy issues and
working toward policy change through the RCIP project, please
contact: Coastal Communities Network - Attention: Ishbel Munro P.O.
