Connecting local responses around the world
Constellation worked with NGO Mamta in Healthrise project on diabetes and hypertension funded by Medtronic Foundation and supported by Abt Associates. SALT and CLCP were used as a pilot in 14 villages in two blocks of Shimal district, State of Himachal, India. Nuggets from Shimla Knowledge Fair
- Photos of actions of communities adorned beautifully at the venue
What did we learn about KF facilitation: In the Knowledge Fair removing the barriers to open conversation and dialogue is fundamental, create a safe space for people to be themselves. The objective of the KF was to encourage community members to share and exchange the work they had done for their health. We did not how the KF would end. We left it to the participants. By letting go of the outcomes and keeping it open-ended, we allowed the flow of conversation. This created a learning culture and fostered co-creation of knowledge.

Hi Rituu,
Thank you for sharing the photos that give a really good impression of this event: the booklet, the 3-D model, the photos.... Very rich! The dedication of the communities involved is tangible.
Good reminder about all team members taking on specific roles. And I love the way of working and the positive impact this open-ended approach had: "We did not know how the KF would end. We left it to the participants".
I am sure enthusiasm for new actions will emerge naturally from this knowledge fair!
Rituu,
You are moving steadily towards the dream that many of us have held for Knowledge Fairs for a long time. It is a great achievement for everybody involved.

Constellation vidéo, where we journey in less then 2 minutes from space, through nature, to villages, in homes and back while exploring what the Constellation stands for. Thank YOU for being part of it.
