Community Development - ABCD
Next date: Thursday, 17 July 2025 | 06:00 PM
to 08:00 PM
Join us for an inspiring and practical workshop designed to elevate the work of community organisations by focusing on what’s strong, not what’s wrong. Grounded in the principles of Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), this session will empower participants to create meaningful, lasting change by discovering and activating the strengths that already exist within communities.
This dynamic workshop explores the real-world impact of effective community development. Participants will gain insight into the foundations of ABCD, learn how to engage stakeholders meaningfully, and develop their capacity for participatory leadership that places communities at the centre of decision making.
By shifting the narrative from needs and deficits to assets and opportunities, ABCD helps unlock collective potential. This approach is reshaping communities across the globe—driving inclusion, resilience, and long-term sustainability by building from the inside out.
What you'll gain
- Practical tools to identify and mobilise existing community assets.
- Strategies for inclusive engagement and activating natural leaders.
- Skills to build authentic partnerships and collaborative networks.
- Experience in storytelling and harvesting community knowledge to inspire action.
- Confidence to facilitate group processes that lead to community-led change.
Whether you're a community worker, local leader, volunteer or change maker, this workshop will equip you with the tools to amplify your community impact—helping others thrive while reigniting your own passion for the work.
