Participatory Community Building Workshop | Wagga Wagga

More than ever we recognise the importance of connecting people to community. Seeing them as a part of a community is vital for having a voice and to create a sense of belonging.

Participatory Community Building blends Asset Based Community-led Development (ABCD) and Art of Hosting (Participatory Leadership) to provide participatory; patterns, practices, processes, and principles to give you the tools to co-create projects and initiatives.

The Jeder Institute supports authentic social change through increased community engagement and participation. The aim is to engage, inspire and activate your organisation and/or community to produce the following outcomes:

• Skills and tools to support a connected community
• Community members who are empowered by strengthened relationships
• A shift in organisational and community mindset to one of positive discovery

Asset Based Community Development:

1. Focuses on community assets and strengths rather than problems and needs
2. Identifies and mobilises community and individual assets, skills and passions
3. Is built on community leadership
4. Builds relationships
