Get Started
This course will draw upon the research of CCSA and others to introduce you to the principles of placemaking, the reasoning behind the practice and, finally, give you practical tips on how to bring placemaking to your Centre. You will receive resources to help you pinpoint barriers to inclusion and suggestions on how to address them with community engagement and a co-design process. We will share our sector experience and hopefully inspire you to consider placemaking at a local level wherever you are.
This is a self-paced course. You can start and stop as you like – the system will remember your progress. To complete this course it will take you approximately one and a half (1.5) hours.
Once you have explored each of the topics, you will be asked to complete a short quiz to demonstrate your knowledge. You must receive a score of 80% or more to receive your certificate. You can reattempt the quiz as many times necessary to receive this score.
Extend Your Learning
‘Extend Your Learning’ and ‘Further Resources’ are optional. They have been provided for select topics to expand your knowledge if you have an interest in that topic. The time spent exploring these resources is not included in the approximate time to complete the course. There will not be questions in the quiz regarding these resources.

Tam – I’m here to learn how to enhance the community I serve.
I believe the first step is to be informed and through that gain depth of knowledge that allows me to better support my community to feel a sense of belonging, social connection and health.
