Jan Somers replied to Tom Koninckx's discussion CITIZEN PARTICIPATION – A CALL FOR BEST PRACTICES"Great to see and read about the Vilvoorde project taking its next steps. In fact the auto-evaluation approach with its 5 levels is a maturity model on its own. So why not co-facilitate a participation dream with the city council and let the…"
Jan Somers commented on Sirinate Piyajitpirat's blog post Lessons Learned from a Facilitation "Understanding SALT' in Singapore, November 9-11, 2018, by Veronique, Wiwin and Sirinate"Sirinate, does ABCD work with a 'connecting & empowering mindset' as well ? I mean when CLCP is a process of steps, Salt is the connecting, empowering mindset.

Jan Somers commented on Jan Somers's blog post Engagement needs emotion (e-motion , energy in motion )"Rituu, the question should perhaps not be "when is the good time to discuss the real situation" but "how is a good way to discuss the real situation?

When talking about what is going wrong or when talking about what your dream is? When you feel listened to and connected with the group or when you feel like talking to a wall? When you feel others are linking to your dream or when you are looked at as a blamer or as a messenger of bad news?Do energize from the positive psychology and do…See More
Jan Somers replied to Rituu B. Nanda's discussion Query: Experiences of effective community response to the issue of alcohol"Hi Rituu, I myself have no experience on this issue but I do remember the visit we paid at the village during the Global Learning Festival in India in 2012. We visited a village where SAAP were working and I seem to remember that the women in that…"
Jan Somers commented on Noemi Bertomeu's blog post Challenges in applying SALT: INCLUSION, rank and egalitarian dialogue."Interesting question!
What is it that goes beyond roles represented in the room? I would guess if you allow the common mission to surface, people could see/reflect on how the/their role fits in the achievement of a common mission/dream.

This past weekend Veronique and I both facilitated the training weekend for a second group of community facilitators for the city of Vilvoorde.
The two days happened in a great learning and SALTy way. The participants of this small group were very eager to learn, to experience, to share and to brainstorm.
At one stage during the training weekend we asked the participants to go out on the streets and have SALT conversations with people on the streets about their dreams for…

Posted on June 23, 2013 at 10:13pm 3 Comments 4 Likes
For some time now, Belcompetence has been engaged in facilitating the Faubourg community building.
