Potentialul communitatii/Overview

English Español Français Português Overview Welcome to the Community Empowerment Web Site This is a "cafeteria-style" collection of training material intended to assist you in helping low-income communities (and their people) to overcome poverty. It emphasizes methods and principles, not academic theory or scholarly debate. The site provides short training documents and resources that are designed for you to print and use as handouts at training sessions for community field workers. Many black and white drawings are provided which can also be used to illustrate the written training material. You may also translate the text into local languages, and attach the drawings to your own training material. Because paper and ink are relatively expensive, it would be out of financial range to produce enough hard copies of the required training material for every rural village and urban neighbourhood in every least developed nation on this globe. It is financially feasible, however, that eventually every human settlement (from rural village to urban neighbourhood) will get access to the InterNet. That realization lies behind the motivation of producing this series of training modules on this InterNet site (http://www.scn.org/cmp/). The elimination of poverty can be a realistic global goal, with the combination of (1) these methods and (2) the world wide web.
