And they are great thoughts Dee - the essence of all of our work in this space I think, to which I don't have any definitive answers but am continually on the search.

Further to my previous notes below about sustainable community building, here are three videos that relate to my linking of integrated diversity with sustainability (sorry, they go last first, middle in order below)...

Ideas for Building Belonging for an Inclusive Community in Rockhampton
Tips, Tools, Strategies, and Technology
Hi Angela - would love to talk more about your initiatives in Rockhampton when your "big week" is concluded. Best of luck with it!
Communities of Shalom
Tips, Tools, Strategies, and Technology
My looking into this has also thrown up the following organisation (the words are below are from my contact at Communities of Shalom). I am sure they are well known but their processes and tools seem to have such potential and relate well to what I am looking at here (not just the 'high tech" ideas which may or may not have application here). Are you aware of them? Worth more conversation I think....Also of note is the Community Connections web-based method of neighborhood building using their program known as CCAMP: http://www.ctassets.org/cc_home.htm. In my conversations with top leadership at ABCDI, Microsoft and Google, the CCAMP program is seen asa the cats meow or the quintessential GIS based high tech asset mapping program for community building. Users enter their own assets and address which are then collected in a searchable GIS database that is available to (as an administrator allows) to all users.

Interestingly in relation to some work I am researching myself, I found this link to Communities of Shalom, a community development process (using ABCD) developed by the United Methodist Church in the USA but desgned to create communities of wholeness across all demographic boundaries (including faith). As the newsletter notes: The ShalomZone model of community developmentwas instigated in 1992 as a positive and holistic response to the social uprising in Los Angeles that Spring. Since then, over 360 Shalom Teams have been trained in asset-based community development.. The link is here: http://communitiesofshalom.org/index.html

"Movement" Gathering in Melbourne
Connect Locally
Thanks Chris. It's great to here the introductions are being made in so many diverse contexts!Christopher Dureau said:
Thanks Adrian for your coordination and ground breaking work together with Patricia earlier. I am not much in the country for the coming months, but will welcome the opportunity to come next time if available.
By the way, when in Timor-Leste last month, Christine and I met with the two people who gave a key-note address at the Newcastle conference, Constantino Pinto and Inga Lemp. In enjoyed giving a one day introduction to ABCD to some of our newly recruited staff there. The challenge for me is that while I am very excited about using strength based approaches, I find it easy to fall back into a deficit based approach when describing it to those who have not considered this way of thinking before.
best wishes
Chris
"Movement" Gathering in Melbourne

Thanks Dee for the encouragement. Great minds think alike. I was going to set up the state based group when we got a few more Victorians on the ning. But I guess there is no harm in starting that movement early.AdrianDee Brooks said:
Fantastic Adrian! Thanks for posting this!
Also, do you think it would be worthwhile to add a "ABCD Victoria" group on the main page of this site where the groups are? The ones that are there now were moreso for practice when I was setting up the site but maybe state by state would be beneficial for those of you who are meeting together - what do you think?
Regards,
Dee...
