I want to share a small introduction to the art of asking questions inspired by Appreciation.
I think all appreciative questions always refer back to the purpose of what we are doing. So in the words used in the introduction, I believe you should always start with a generative question and ask for real human experiences.

Our Speed Dating Forum occurs annually. No romance involved! It creates opportunity for community professionals, community groups, individuals and businesses to meet and share what it is they do and what their concerns are.
This year the discussion will be on homelessness. Australia is perceived as a wealthy country and it is but as with many wealthy countries the wealth seems to congregate in certain corners and leave many families with few resources.
In the outskirts of a…

One of our key messages is creating safe communities for children. We have a Safe T Net project which includes a website development with children where they can consider what being unsafe feels like, who do I talk to and who do I call?
In a country so focussed on material goods we have high levels of social isolation which is not safe for anyone, particularly…

Avec tous les mouvements de soulèvement contre les sensibilisateurs, comme le vécu de la scène de tuerie à womey en Guinée forestière.
j'ai réalisé que l'approche SALT trouverait certainement sa grande place dans la valorisation des compétences communautaires. Ainsi, deux groupes au cours d'une invitation de formation. j'ai suggéré la nécessité de collaborer avec les communautés en vue d'appliquer l'approche sur les compétences face à l'Ebola qui se définissent dans le sigle… ContinueAdded by joseph koïvogui on September 29, 2014 at 12:00am — 3 Comments
As a young public health enthusiast, my literature review of ebola virus six years ago was interesting as I studied the zoonotic disease with keen curiosity. But the recent outbreak in West Africa brings more…

Life has been described in many ways: A roller coaster, two edged sword, a teacher, a school ...name them, but really: LIFE IS THE PROCESS OF CONTINUOUS BECOMING...

You are continuously becoming something: Good or Bad. Nothing stagnates, even dead rocks get weathered, as other life forms evolve to…

Every morning one lady bike rider passes me when my bus gets stuck in the jam on the way to my office. She goes ahead to her destination by driving her Scooty easily and naturally on the wide and narrow spaces on the road as like as a man. Every day when I see her I give her a salute and admire her courage because it is Bangladesh, a moderate Islamic country by the constitution, where a big part of the people do not support from their mind to let the women go out from home for working…

Today, Institute of Applied Manpower Research invited me to facilitate a session of Community life competence and SALT with a group of government officers from Jammu and Kashmir. The participants found it very hard to answer the question- what are you proud of? If you ask us what are your failures are it is very easy to answer. We are not used to this question. Concluding remark was that if one is appreciated one is more likely to take action!
Here is the…

While engaging over 150 youths, instead of doing "hopes n Concern" which would have been too tedious for the volume of people. We did four drawings: [1] a smiling sun, [2] clouds with rain, [3] a mixture of rain and sun, and [4] a large circle. We placed each drawing strategically so there was enough space for the youth to congregate and asked the youths to consider their inner feelings about the institution where they were and if that feeling related to any of the drawing, go there. One of…

Permit me to pay my condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones to the pandemic.
Ebola Virus is strange to Nigeria and many Nigerian medical workers including physicians, laboratorians, nurses are just fiercely empowering themselves with information about it. The outbreak caught many medical experts in the country unawares as they may have never encountered such cases before. Moreover, since it’s a fever, the initial symptoms such as sore throat, headaches and muscle…

Hi there,

So, I'll start by sharing an article that was written when I was working with the Family Action Centre at the University of Newcastle, Australia. I was hired as a community worker, to work with a team of people…

Dear Friends,
What lesson did we learn from the psars or Avian flu epidemics and other viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHF) that could inform Ebola preparedness/response in the West African Countries?
Ideally Ebola Competence is needed to counter the boiling stigma, fear and anxiety amidst care, treatment and support efforts by intervening health service providers.…

I see Community Life Competence Process as something so vast; one can use it in so many ways. I was speaking with my dear friend Rituu and I was telling her that besides the multiple benefits CLCP generates, what I love is that it is also very inspirational.
I said “the feeling I get when I think of what CLCP gives ME, it’s like reading that inspirational quote that just gives you hope;”
for example (“Every cloud has a silver lining”) or (“Behind every dark cloud, there is a…
