The Hague Academy for Local Governance believes that real development starts at the local level. We provide open courses, tailor-made courses, study visits and masterclasses.
Our programmes include:
Visits to projects and best practices and to private and public sector organisations that are specific for the practice and context of local government;
Improvement of skills by participating in role play, game simulations and interactive theatre;
Reflection on the impact of local government policies on local communities with the help of university professors and citizen experts;
Linking what has been learned to the daily practices in the participants’ home countries.
In cooperation with municipalities and citizens’ organisations in various countries, we offer training programmes that are made by and for people involved in local governance. Our approach is characterised by an active participation in our training programs: seeing, doing, discussing and exchanging experiences.
