Shared Vision
|
|
A vision should express values, purpose, and aspirations for a better future in simple terms that everyone can understand as the basis for participation in the group. Developing a Shared Vision may be the single most important task for the group to accomplish at the outset. It will guide strategy development, decision-making and goal-setting of the group or organization and for individual projects that the group undertakes.Edit

Community Animators
|
|
Development professionals often find it difficult to adequately assess the broad spectrum of problems a community faces — or the various assets the community has to work with. This often means that development schemes are mismatched with the community's needs, abilities and liabilities. Community Animators can act as critical links and local citizens can often better activate a community to realize change than an outsider.Edit

Online Anti-Poverty Community
|
|
Because anti-poverty advocates and activists often don't have the education and training resources or communications they need, their opportunities for building communities are limited. At the same time, poor and marginalized people don't have the information they need to exercise control over their lives or get the resources they need. The most effective online anti- poverty communities are defined and created by advocates and poor people to address needs as they arise.Edit

Sense of Struggle
|
|
Many of the strongest forces in the world must be challenged. A Sense of Struggle can unite a group striving for positive social change. A Sense of Struggle lies between optimism and despair. We need to cultivate a Sense of Struggle and, at the same time, make it easier for those who are involved in the struggle. According to Frederick Douglass, "If there is no struggle, there is no progress."Edit

Self-Help Groups
|
|
Individual capacity among poor peoples in the developing world (particularly women) to establish credit and develop self-sufficient businesses is often unrealized. Organizing groups to secure collective and individual credit, and skills training, can assist peoples in accessing the capital they need to start small businesses and help build livelihoods for families and communities. Self-Help Groups offer one approach to create associations for some of the most economically marginalized groups within society.Edit

Self-Designed Development
|
|
Development initiatives are often designed and implemented by outside professionals, politicians and wealthy elites. Neither community empowerment nor fundamental sustainability plays a central role in many of these interventionist projects. Communities must take the opportunity to proactively assert their own paradigm and to exert their own sense of identity and influence in the face of outside forces attempting to define their collective futures.Edit

Engaged Tourism
|
|
At its worst, tourism devastates ecosystems, displaces communities, causes pollution, promotes drug and sex-trafficking, restricts access to clean water, and degrades culture. A westerner's perception of travel and vacationing often leaves little room for experiencing foreign cultures or different lifestyles. Engaged Tourism shifts from inexpensive fun abroad to participating in meaningful experiences. In fact, engaged tourists can help re-establish values, culture, status of local people and communities adversely affected by commercial tourism.Edit

Appropriating Technology
|
|
"Ordinary people" can be producers of technology and science. Latino "street mechanics" created the Low Rider car and Black teenagers created the "scratch" sound of rap. Appropriated technology can help the disenfranchised gain social power. We can encourage marginalized groups to strive towards positive "hybridity," create community technology centers, and train engineers and designers to think about appropriation by users as a positive goal.Edit

Control of Self Representation
|
|
Whether through speech, story, or image how people are represented influences how they're perceived and treated. Non- whites, incarcerated, sick or starving people, disaster victims, uneducated, aged, and rural people as well as many others marginalized by gender or ethnicity are misrepresented. One cannot fully control self-representation but it can be addressed. The first step is increasing awareness of the problem; the second is analysis; the third is action.Edit

Homemade Media
|
|
People outside the major spheres of power have little access to the tools and technologies of self-expression. Although this can be harmful to those people, others are deprived of enriching stories and perspectives. Homemade Media helps build employment skills. It also helps build confidence and self-esteem. And, capturing an image or conversation encourages reflection and introspection. Anybody with a story to tell could benefit from Homemade Media.Edit
