Welcome to ICA:UK!

ICA:UK is concerned with the human factor in world development - creating a just and sustainable world for all, through partnership and participation. We work nationally and internationally to enable individuals, organisations and communities to work together to bring about positive change.

We can help you to bring about positive change in your organisation or team, in your community, or with your partners or clients - and you can help us to help others…

Are you committed to participation, partnership, teamwork -but wondering how?

We can facilitate meetings and events to meet your needs.

Tailored facilitation by our experienced facilitators will involve your people effectively and enable them to meet their goals together.

You can become an expert facilitator yourself by training in our proven approach – choose from a range of courses nationwide, both for beginners and for experienced facilitators. We can also provide in-house training for your group at your place, so that we can tailor training to your exact needs, and you can all learn together.

Our range of books and sticky walls can also support you in your practice and development as a facilitator.

Do you struggle to involve young people in your work?

Do you struggle to get young people involved in the management and decision-making of your organisation?

Have you heard a lot about how important youth participation is - but found very little on how to make it happen? Do you want to make sure that youth involvement extends beyond the “usual suspects”?

Find out how our Youth Participation Programme can help you, your young people or youth workers gain skills to encourage influential youth participation.
