PRIA’s education programmes have now reached over a thousand learners in India and beyond. Intake in some certificate courses is encouraging and through the courses PRIA is building capacity of development professionals and students.
In 2009, PRIA had signed an agreement to a Master of Arts in Participatory Development (in collaboration with IGNOU, India). The course was launched in 2010, with twenty-six students enrolling in the programme. The Master of Arts in Participatory Development is popular as students have the option of completing the course in stages (getting a PG Certificate in Participatory Development at the end of the first semester, and a PG Diploma in Participatory Development at the end of the second semester).
Creating opportunities for field-based internships for practitioners and new professionals to learn about participatory methodologies of empowerment has been undertaken by PRIA for years. In 2010-2011, as part of its structured internship programme, five interns from the United States, Australia, Cambodia, Nepal and Bangladesh joined the PRIA International Internship Programme. In addition, a customised internship programme was launched for Calgary Board of Education (held between 4 July and 24 July 2010). |
