The document summarizes two days of a workshop on asset-based community development (ABCD) and mobilizing young people. Day one covered asset mapping, learning conversations, appreciative inquiry, and using strengths to address issues. Day two discussed taking local youth engagement to the county level, inclusion, and facilitating youth-led action through matching grants. The goal was to teach participants ABCD principles and tools to strengthen communities by engaging youth.

Editor's Notes
- We are not starting from a blank slate….
- While strength based youth work might sound like a grey area. It’s not!
- Thankfully, as I’ve already said, we have all we need to light the path ahead, THROUGH YOUR PRACTICE ON THE GROUND!
- But…we want to work smart not hard. So today we want to build a framework that draws on our existing strengths and doesn’t leave us over stretched.
- Nor do we want to set a vision beyond our sites. Our goal is achievable with coordination.
- Changing the focus from what is problematic to what is possible
- Given that both are equally true where is all the energy and focus going?
- Certainly a glance at the papers suggests:
- History has always problematised young people
- ABCD is about promoting a paradigm shift
- Following the cycle of four D’s we will explore success stories in terms of engaging young people in the past and look to how we can learn from them. Using the ingredients of past success to mobilising young people.
- Unpacking participation
- A good life is colonised by people at every level
- Jane civic muscle cannot be flexed in this context
- Jane civic muscle cannot be flexed in this context
- So many youth at risk experience the same reality where they are surrounded by professionals but not connected into their community
- Building civic power is not possible when circles of participation are restricted
- From clients to citizens
- From consumption to production
- Inspiration is key
