Learning, Practice and Change in the World

In an era marked by the global financial crisis and austerity measures in the UK, community development faces both threats and opportunities. This exploration highlights the shift from rights to responsibilities and the essence of the Big Society and the Occupy movement. By redefining people as solutions and emphasizing a shared commitment to social justice, we can cultivate personal power and collective strength. Together, we can create new knowledge, strategize effective actions, and build resilient organizations grounded in shared values and the pursuit of global social justice.
