Il y a un an et demi nous avons rêvé…
Rêvé d’un monde ou mixité serait synonyme de créativité, et diversité d’unité… Rêvé que les jeunes gens de nos villes occidentales soient les acteurs principaux d’une redéfinition de notre identité collective, les auteurs d’un nouveau mythe fondateur, pluriel et en mouvement perpétuel, inclusif et bousculant.
Ce rêve spécifique a commencé dans le cœur et l’esprit de deux personnes, Thierry Sanchez et moi-même, mais ses fondements nous…

This blog has contributions from four NGO staff members of Geneva Global Project
I work with communities on issues around bonded labour, child labour and trafficking. I am a SALT Facilitator. I use SALT both for group meetings as well as during home visits in the communities. I think the importance of home visits is that individuals who do not share their very personal feeling in the public…

Ecouter?... être disponible, être ouvert comme un grand cornet, entendre les résonnances intérieures, les paroles autant que les silences, ces légères accroches qui disent l'émotion, la gène, l'impatience....
La même racine a produit le mot écouter mais aussi ausculter qui suppose une attention accrue pour entendre l'intérieur, voir ce que l'on ne vois pas, le battement d'un cœur, la circulation du souffle.... Ecouter les corps, les gestes; écouter les yeux, les…

Community conversation is key for communities to take take ownership and being responsible. This is local response. When we seek to stimulate local response with community conversation, one of the stimulating question is are we human and why? Members of every community are intrigue by the question and their own response. They agree to continue 'community conversations' on that human level. Mauritius Council for Social Services (MACOSS) shared in this experience when it held an empowerment…

Bonjour Rituu!
Heureux de pouvoir te lire et de te savoir en action dans la
facilitation de la réponse face au travail forcé et à la traite des
enfants en Inde. Tout en encourageant cette initiative, je voudrai ici
partager quelques mots au sujet de l'écoute.
En effet, l'écoute est appelé à être développé continuellement pour
chacun de nous tous, humains. C'est un…

I am a social worker and was to arrange for SALT visit in the village of Bachauli, Khanpur Block on the banks of river. Villagers are primarily engaged in fishing, working in brick klins and as bonded labourers in agriculture. Men primarily work in bricklins where they earn Rs 500-700 per day (10-15 USD).
I was arranging logistics for the SALT and therefore, could not participate in the SALT discussion. The SALT facilitation team left. As I was arranging, I was finishing and came…

Rituu B Nanda from Constellation conducted SALT training for staff from organisations- PGS and TIP in Allahabad. I am a research scholar who joined this event and accompanied for the SALT visits. When Rituu introduced us to SALT, she asked a question on L for listening in SALT, which evoked a lot of discussion amongst us. Here are some points from the discussion.
What is listening? There is a difference between hearing and listening. When you listen attentively and carefully…

The following is an actual conversation I had with the Manager of a medium sized organisation in 2008 after I had delivered an Asset-based Community-driven (ABCD) keynote presentation at a national conference in Brisbane:
Manager, “We tried that asset mapping thing! It didn’t work!”
I asked, “Could I ask what you did and with who?”
Manager, “It was a staff meeting, I drew up 6 columns (one for each asset) and asked all my staff…

Un feu d'artifice évanescent ou un arbre en fleurs? Quelle image utiliser pour représenter le festival d'échange de la semaine dernière à l’Île Maurice? Pour ma part l'arbre en fleur représente mieux le festival parce qu'il portera des fruits. Nous avons quitté le festival heureux et déterminés d'agir différemment sur la base de ce que nous avions appris avec les communautés au cours de la semaine.
Pour moi, le voyage à l'île Maurice a été d'abord un voyage intérieur. Chaque réunion m'a…

Evanescent fireworks or a blossoming tree: which image would best represent last week’s Global Learning Festival in Mauritius? For my part the blossoming tree better represents what happened to us here last week because our festival will bear fruit. We left the festival with happy determination to act differently on the basis of what we had learned with communities over the week.
For me, the travel to Mauritius was a travel within, as each meeting gave me the opportunity to deepen my…
