Workshops 2012
Active Citizens is going from strength to strength and now includes Banbury as well as target local income communities in Oxford - Barton, North Way and Woodfarm.
Thanks to support from the British Council and the Oxfordshire Partnership we’re working with a diverse range of local residents and key representatives such as a city councillor and a neighbourhood police officer to develop social action projects linked to area priorities and plans.
Participants develop their projects in locality groups through a series of practical, participatory training workshops spread over five months. Our Oxfordshire Active Citizens programme focuses on diversity, social inclusion and community development and is working with communities which have become much more ethnically mixed in recent years. The aim is to promote dialogue while developing appropriate practical initiatives on the ground reflecting the needs of all local residents.
