Overview
What you will study
In the Activate - Activating Community Tourism course offered by St. Francis Xavier University (StFX) , we will unpack the principles, practices, and tools that put local assets and action at the centre any project, program, or community-organizing process. It offers a “time-out” for you to question conventional community development practices and beliefs and to re-evaluate your role and the role of your organization in stimulating and supporting genuine asset-based and citizen-led development (ABCD).
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Differentiate between needs-based and asset-based approaches to development.
- Learn from your facilitators and peers about examples of successful community-driven responses to crises and opportunities.
- Identify the overlooked assets of local citizens in your work and life.
- Learn and practice participatory ABCD tools, methods, and facilitation tips for uncovering and mobilizing community assets and strengths.
- Critically examine the role of outside institutions in responding to citizen-led development, including private and public sector agencies and non-governmental organizations.
- Design a concrete plan of action to integrate more ABCD into your life and work.
