About the Event
Join us in building a stronger, more connected community!
Many of us feel disconnected, even with opportunities for connection all around us. This is especially so for people with disabilities and others who are at higher risk of loneliness and isolation.
Traditional systems often highlight what's wrong, offering commercial fixes that can isolate us. But imagine a different way: a community-driven approach that champions our natural connections and celebrates the unique gifts and skills we each have.
This one day, face to face workshop will focus on Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) and will teach you how to uncover the hidden talents, assets, and strengths within your own neighborhood. You will learn to build healthier, safer, and more prosperous communities by:
Shifting your focus from deficits to assets, strengths and gifts.
Connecting with your neighbours and others in your community to create meaningful relationships.
