How can we collaborate with people to help them build their resilience? Get under the skin of the culture and the lives people live. Identify people’s feelings and experiences of community and understand what people think is shaped by different values and by the environment and infrastructure around them. The future of collaboration could bring many opportunities but people find it more difficult to live and act together than before. How can we help people…and communities build their resilience? Understand people’s different situations and capabilities to develop pathways that help them build resilient relationships. Help people experience and practice change together.

Session by Charlotte Petri Gornitzka, Chair, Development Assistance Committee, OECD
The world has come a long way: poverty is three times lower than in 1970 and economic prosperity is on the rise. But there is still much to be done, in particular in focussing on the lowest income countries, and ensuring that financing and international efforts are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The system of Official Development Assistance (ODA) offers a consistent basis for donors to provide support and is a key part of the international development architecture, measuring the financial efforts of participating nations and working towards an overall aim of consistent contributions. The OECD collates the statistics and members’ activities are reviewed by their peers on a periodic basis, providing accountability and ensuring efforts are well placed.
In a world of ever constrained budgets, nations must continue to provide the finance to back up their commitments to delivering on the SDGs. But the financing must be sustainable and must seek to maximise the opportunities in both the public and private sectors. This presentation will focus on how the Development Assistance Committee and ODA systems are reforming to ensure they remain relevant and fit for purpose in this ever-changing development landscape.
Joint Strategic Commissioning is at the heart of the Public Bodies (Joint Working) Bill. JIT has recently issued guidance on what Partnerships need to do in order to develop Strategic Plans that incorporate a Financial Plan, relating to all integrated resources, by April 2015. This session provides an opportunity to further explore the scale and scope of what partnerships are required to do to deliver on the opportunities and ambitions of integrated health and social care.

International learning on Self-Directed SupportCitizen Network
Self-directed support has been developing since the 1960s - there is a long way still to go - here are some thoughts about lessons so far from around the world.
If Self-Directed Support is so good, why is it so hardCitizen Network
Dr Simon Duffy offers an overview of the global and historical development of Self-Directed Support (SDS). This talk was given at an in Control Scotland event in Glasgow in 2020 and builds on the work of the global SDS Network.
Self-directed support (NDIS or My Way) has the potential to revolutionise support to people with disabilities. But service providers must also adapt, learn and innovate. These slides were shared at an event for over 90 service providers in Perth, WA - with the support of WADSC and NDS.
Talk given by Dr Simon Duffy to the Multicultural Community Council of South Australia, exploring the potential for empowerment and human rights in aged care services.
Dr Simon Duffy explains that self-directed support is a matter of social justice... but it is constantly threatened by consumerism and bureaucracy. A talk given in Helsinki at event hosted by Suunta.
This is the full set of slides given to people, families, services and state officials in South Australia. It includes the hopes and fears of people with disabilities about the forthcoming implementation of NDIS.
The Development of Self-Directed Support in FinlandCitizen Network
These slides were from a presentation by Dr Simon Duffy at the launch of Suunta - the new agency to promote self-directed support in Finland. Dr Duffy outlines some of the main strategies needed for successful implementation and the pitfalls to avoid.
Self-Directed Support - International LearningCitizen Network
There are several myths about self-directed support and what makes it work effectively. This talk was for the Ministry of Health team and their partners and it tries to seperate out the myths from the helpful features of a new system.
Dr Simon Duffy gave this talk in June 2017 to the staff of Community Links and on behalf of DD Network. Simon explores the historical and philosophical background to recent innovations in self-directed support and citizenship. He argues that we should not be looking for a perfect model, but instead should work together to build on best-practice and challenge injustice. Simon also explained why Citizen Network had been formed to advance citizenship for all.
Citizenship & Self-Direction - exploring good practice.Citizen Network
Dr Simon Duffy of the Centre for Welfare Reform gave this talk at the Manawanui In Charge International Conference on Self-Direction in Auckland November 2016. He explores some of the lessons learned internationally about how systems of self-directed support and set out the case for increasing international cooperation through membership of Citizen Network.
Ensuring Citizen-led Accountability of the Sustainable Development Goals.Humentum
Community members stand to gain or lose the most from SDG's, but do they have the tools to be active participants in the process? Hear practical examples of how others have empowered citizens to raise their voices concerning SDGs and accountability. Walk away with insights, methods, and tools including exposure to an online tool sharing platform available to all.

Networked Energy: Energy independence for AlderneyCitizen Network
by Chris Cook and Marcus Saul, Island Power
As Research Fellows at the Institute for Strategy, Resilience and Security, at University College, London, Marcus Saul and Chris Cook researched and developed the Pacific Natural Grid resource resilience strategy.
Here they explain how Denmark has led the way in creating sustainable networks of community-based energy production and distribution.
This has been transformative for Denmark, enabling it to become independent from the oil and gas industry’s dominance. But it is also transformative for communities, who are now creating their own energy economies.
Dr Dave Beck gave this talk for Part 5 of the ‘Grassroots Policies for Farming, Food and Wildlife’ webinar series, hosted by Citizen Network.
In his presentation Dr Beck discusses the harms caused by the monopolisation of supermarkets in the food industry. He also explores the positive possibilities of local currencies.
Dr Beck is a Lecturer at the University of Salford, Manchester.
The webinar recording is available to watch on Citizen Network's website at: www.citizen-network.org
Simon Duffy gave this presentation at the final conference of the UNIC Project, in Brussels in September 2023, providing an overview of personal budgets and the challenges ahead.
Sabrina Espeleta of War on Want outlines the enormous and growing level of world hunger. She explains how a few global corporations control the vast majority of food production and supply and markets exploit the food market, leaving communities, especially in the Global South at great disadvantage. Local peasant farmers are now organising to achieve food sovereignty, seeking to farm in ways in harmony with nature and to meet local needs. The Global North needs to respect the rights and autonomy of these people rather than to continue the pattern of exploitation.
This presentation was given on 6 July in Part 4 of a webinar series on grassroots policies for farming, food and wildlife.
Watch the recording at: https://citizen-network.org
Simon Duffy was asked by the Mayor’s Greater Manchester Charity and UBI Lab Manchester to talk at a recent roundtable event on the relevance of Universal Basic Income (UBI) to the problem of homelessness.
These are the slides from that talk. In summary Duffy argued that UBI is relevant to reducing homelessness in two slightly different ways:
1. UBI would help prevent homelessness - UBI addresses the inequalities in income and housing that create the risk of homelessness.
2. UBI would help people escape homelessness - UBI gives people a vital tool which significantly helps people change their situation in times of crisis.

At BuildingCitizen Network Together in early 2022 Simon Duffy and James Lock discussed the development of Citizen Network and its current approach to membership and explored with members from all around the world next steps for its development.
These slides are from a talk Dr Simon Duffy of Citizen Network gave to Café Economique in Leeds, making the case for basic income. The argument set out is that UBI is one necessary part of a range of reforms necessary to support citizenship and strengthen community life. This talk preceded a (rather fiery) debate with Anna Coote of NEF who argued against UBI.
Simon Duffy gave this talk for Radical Visions on home, citizenship, institutionalisation and neighbourhood democracy. He explains why institutions are wrong and what we might be do to end the drive towards institutionalisation.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

2. Self-Directed Support
•
It is not new - it has been
growing since the 1960s.
•
It can be found in lots of
places around the world.
•
It has been successful,
but slow to grow.
•
It creates new
opportunities and new
risks.
3. “We are obliged to
surrender to the will of
the strong. Big
companies, cities and

what is best for us. This
is about power. Why do
I feel a lack of power

1. Rights - secure foundations
2. Control - person focused
3. Clarity - transparent
4. Flexibility - high in options
5. Ease of use - low in burdens
6. Community - connectivity
7. Sustainability - evolving
21. Systems ration resources in different ways
!
1.by responding to crises or requests
2.by creating waiting lists for places
3.by professional assessment
4.by public rules for entitlements
5.by negotiation

23. Clarity about money seems to improve how
people plan and how willing the system is to
provide flexibility. But it can be corrupted.

46. We want to explore
how best Europe can
embrace self-directed
support and ensure it
promotes citizenship
and community
47. •
Can we create a European movement for selfdirected support to focus on the right things?
•
Can we put civil society, community and persons
with disabilities at the heart of the movement?
•
Can we encourage experimentation and learning
between European countries?
•
Can we help the European Union strengthen their
support for real human rights and inclusion?
48. Ideas for

To help persons with disabilities across
Europe to achieve full citizenship by reforming
systems for funding assistance and meeting
the human rights of people with disabilities.
49. Ideas for

Network
Objectives
1.To identify systems of self-directed support used in Europe
2.To identify and share good practice
3.To identify obstacles to good practice
4.To create a network of champions for self-directed
support across Europe (of interested organisations, people
with disabilities and families)
5.To build alliances with other groups who are using selfdirected support (not just people with disabilities)
6.To help improve European policy-making on self-directed
support
50. Partnership
We need partners in all of the objectives.
We need to
• meet, share, learn
• make research, build strategies
• grow a network
• use social media and easy to access -tools
• organise events, lobby, publish papers
• find ways for service producers to help
• work together to promote people’s right to access
