Cultivate aims to build capacity in our neighbourhood to take charge of our own moral, social and economic development. It creates opportunities where families/residents can address social issues affecting us all and allows for open consultation around how we can respond to our neighbourhoods needs. Cultivate is concerned with education; we are educational. Educational in the sense that we aren't teaching content but that we are seeking and developing knowledge - becoming protagonists of change.
We conduct ourselves with a humble posture of learning; meaning we seek knowledge, learn and consult alongside others, work with individuals, community members, institutions in Hampton Park. We have a collaborative approach; whereby we see everyone - individuals, communities and institutions - as a potential collaborator in helping our neighbourhood advance.
