#CANCon20 - What's strong not what's wrong
Event Information
Description
This is the third annual conference of the Wakefield District Community Anchor Network (CAN) and this year we are focussing on Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) which is why it is called 'What's strong not what's wrong'. We know that there is plenty of excellent work going on in our communities and the potential for so much more.
The evolving role of the CAN is peer support and development, innovating and supporting actions that deliver on the Five Ways to Wellbeing in their localities, through strong partnerships. The CANCon will share examples of this work, look at local developments that will enhance this work and identify future actions. Come and join us to celebrate and build our assets.
