What is ABCD?
Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) is a way of being in communities that starts with what’s strong rather than what’s wrong.
It’s a powerful process that enables communities and those who work alongside to get into right relationship so that communities can flourish & rekindle functions without fear of displacement, replacement or harm.
Who is the ABCD Circle for?
ABCD Practitioners
People who are interested in / curious about ABCD
Anyone living in, supporting or working in communities
The network is open to people working at all levels and across all sectors.
We love it when we all get together to work out how we all fit together.
What will happen?
At each gathering we’ll explore an idea, principle or story.
We’ll practice the art of hosting, use powerful questions, appreciative inquiry & small group practice to gather collective wisdom. We'll deeply listen to each other and resist the desire to fix.
We’ll agree to talk about our opinions and not from them, and, let go of the idea of being wrong as we wont try to be right.
It will feel uncomfortable and deeply nourishing at the same time. How is that even possible?
The ABCD Circle is hosted by Northern Heart & Soul CiC
