Lyn @ Community Building Workshop. 2-3/03/2010
I attended the Community Building workshop with Peter Block and Symphonia for South Africa. These workshops are "about the nature of real transformation and what kind of leadership is required to achieve it."
The workshops focus strongly on possibilities, rather than problems, an approach we have spoken about after the African Religious Health Assets Conference and our visit in Kenia where we learnt about the SALT methodology
Tweets from the workshop included:
· The small group is the unit of transformation, especially if observed by other small groups.
