The Unconference 2021 - 22-23 Sep
Online session, 22-23rd September from 9am
For all those in the Community Development space, here’s an upcoming free, virtual conference centred around Asset Based Community Development (ABCD). This event is hosted by the ABCD Insitute and many others. The Asset-Based Community Development Institute (ABCD) is at the centre of a large and growing movement that considers local assets as the primary building blocks of sustainable community development. Hear about the seven principles of ABCD from Jim Diers here.
Of the many supporters of this event, the Sandringham Project in Community Empowerment (SPiCE) is one of them. Check out this local placemaking group based in Tāmaki Makaurau and give them a follow! Unconference details below:
