At Rituu's lovely invitation, I'm thrilled to share my recent TEDx Talk, entitled:

"Playful Inquiry - Try this Anywhere."   

In a wealthy country like Australia, in land surrounded by commercial food production, it is ironic that many families suffer with poor access to good quality food.

Part of the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne is located in Cardinia Shire. The small towns that are part of the Hills have a tendency to suffer low levels of community infrastructure exacerbated by poor transport and high social isolation. Food insecurity is an issue in these towns with poor opportunity to access resources…

Du 27 au 29 juin dernier, nous avons animé, avec Jean-Louis, une première formation à l'approche SALT en Bretagne. Nous en ressortons, emplis d'enthousiasme et de belles idées pour la suite!

 

Cette "formation" fut l'occasion d'une belle rencontre avec des participants dynamiques, issus de différents collectifs bretons et déjà très engagés dans la question du "vivre ensemble" et de l'éducation populaire. Nous avons pratiqué l'approche ensemble, ce qui a suscité de belles…

Ces Vendredi4, Samedi5 et dimanche6 juillet, nous avons participé à trois jours d'apprentissage des bases de la facilitation, et de l'approche SALT.

Trois jours de travail, de sourires, de rencontre entre personnes de tous les âges et de tous pays.

Un grand merci aux organisateurs, Marie-Christine, Anne et Philippe ! 

L'apprentissage de pratiques passe aussi par la démonstration des "profs", et le résultat était vraiment probant !

Vivement la mise en pratique.

¡El libro de Jean-Louis Lamboray ¿Qué es lo que nos hace humanos? ya se encuentra a su disposición en español (en formato PDF o mobi)!



La historia que nos desvela Jean-Louis en el recuento de anécdotas y narrativas de vida que forman parte del libro ¿Qué es lo que nos hace humanos? es la de personas y comunidades en India, Congo, Bélgica, Kenia, Tailandia, Uganda, Filipinas o Brasil, entre otras, que han conectado con sus…

Relationships between young people and older persons 

Majority of us know naturally that relationships are important and contribute a lot to our well being. We think about our own need to share happiness and sorrow with people we feel will help (Stimulate) us understand Appreciate what we are, Learn from what we do and Transfer what they have learnt and also accept to share what we want to reach at (VISION). Ideally these should be people…

Jean Louis Lamboray, Chair of the Constellation, was invited to speak to students of 'Community Health Interventions' at Vrije University, Amsterdam, in January, 2014.  He spoke about 'Transfer' as a strategy for spreading competence from community to community.

IAMR invited me to orient government officers from Jammu and Kashmir on community life competence and SALT. There were 22 officers, young group. It was last day of their five day training and they were to leave in the evening. 

We spent the beautiful morning discussing what makes us human. Out came many virtues, values, emotions, the sharing was deep. We are in no hurry for the tea break, they said! We shared stories and identified strengths in each other.…

Une constellation connectant poussières d’étoiles et galaxies… Mais qui est cette étoile ? L’être humain dans la totalité de sa force et de sa vulnérabilité…

 « C’est magique ? » demande Jean-Louis Lamboray, « Bien sûr, puisque c’est humain ! Cet humain dont le fond, je n’ai pas peur de l’affirmer, est toujours bon* ».

Over 10 years ago, a group of practitioners helped conceive a concept of community theatre for development which was named Magnet Theatre. I participated actively in its experiments, recorded its philosophies and implemented it across many communities in Kenya. With the lessons, I finally wrote the manuals and training guides via which the method was introduced in several African countries and India. In 2007, PATH, C. Y. Gopinath and I were awarded the AFRICOMNET Annual Awards for…

In November 2012, we became concerned about food security in our Nguuni village in kithituni community, we experienced drought consecutively as result of lack of rain for two seasons. We started talking as brothers /sisters affected, what could we do to address the problem? We realized other farmers in our neighboring communities were doing something and they…

Mr. Ovid Williams,  member of Guyana Competence for years now, although he was not trained in clcp, always had a heart for SALT.

In his new assignment with the Multi Stakeholder Dialogue (MSD) process he recognized the opportunity to apply SALT in his work. The MSD is the key strategy to satisfy the objectives of the Chainsaw Milling project (2007-2015). The…

a Life Circle is a space where we share our dreams and individual life competence practices; we talk about SALT in our lives and about what makes us human; the circles are opened to anyone, so the 'we' goes beyond Constellation or Belcompétence; after a convivial moment of sharing the latest news and simple food that we have brought or prepared together, we sit and talk/listen at the rhythm of the talking piece…

I have been asked about "integration of CORE Approach into CLCP and PAR Process" by many members and I greatly apologize for not being able to respond to you all in this regards. I commit myself that I will share my view point on how the integration could be taken place in my next article.



Nevertheless, I would like to share with you that the CORE Approach (Collaborative for Resilience) is a complimentary method to CLCP or PAR by which CORE Approach more focuses on Conflict…
