Who is involved in the governance of the Project?

The Social and Health Education Project is governed by a Management Committee comprising people from a range of backgrounds who have undertaken training with the Project, as well as individuals who are professionally involved in the fields of personal and community education or development.  In 2004 new structures were introduced in order to enhance democratic participation in the governance of the Project.  These structures include three policy-shaping fora, respectively for Project Trainers, Community Tutors and Coiscéim Counsellors.  An Association of Friends was also established.  Both the policy-shaping fora and the Association of Friends have formal representation on the Project’s Management Committee.  The Management Committee is supported in its task of policy formulation by two advisory groups: the Training and Development Services Advisory Group and the Therapeutic Support Services Advisory Group.  Those sitting on the advisory groups are experienced people whose guidance is sought by the Management Committee in relation to specific policy questions.
