Asset Based Community Development 1 Day Townsville #qsocent

ABCD 1 Day Workshop- TOWNSVILLE, QLD

About this Workshop:

Learn a framework that helps turn what is 'wrong' in communities, into what is 'strong' and brings out the best in individuals, workplaces, and communities. This workshop explores how to uncover the assets, gifts, and contributions that exist within people and communities and enables participants to create practical solutions using Asset Based Community Development (ABCD). The core themes and principles of ABCD and some basic Social Role Valorisation (SRV) ideas will be explored through presentations, exercises, and discussions.

Who Should Attend:

This workshop is designed for participants from a range of sectors (disability, aged care, mental health, youth, health, community services, local government, small business, etc). The workshops is most effective for teams and business who send management or leadership staff. Participants will be people who are looking for ways to understand and act upon a ‘Glass Half Full’ approach to creating better lives and communities for people. One not to miss if you are someone who wants to focus and take action upon 'whats strong' rather than 'whats wrong' with individuals and communities. 

Attendance at this workshop will be limited to 25 attendees to ensure that we comply with COVID Safe Plan requirements in place at the venue.
