This document summarizes the key points from a meeting about libraries and communities in the digital age. It discusses how people now want more choice and control over how they access news and want more interaction. It also examines how 20th century institutions were centralized but resources are now abundant and communications are ubiquitous. People value expertise but reject authority and want to design their own experiences. Community needs of being respectful and helping the community remain important.

CALCON 2011
The document discusses how libraries can better engage with their communities in the 21st century. It suggests that libraries shift from being centralized institutions that people conform to, to becoming platform institutions that help people design their own experiences. Specifically, it recommends that libraries focus on being part of the community rather than just providing services. Libraries should engage with communities through volunteer opportunities, research, education, collaboration and input on action plans. The key is providing value and benefits while also giving people a sense of control over their library experiences.
Prophetic City
The document discusses how cities have become dominant habitats globally and focuses on New Orleans as a prophetic city. It describes how New Orleans was previously disconnected from local priorities, had degraded natural assets, disrupted neighborhoods, and structural divisions. However, the document argues that through self-organization, communities formed networks of "hubs" and "links" that created connective tissue. It advocates enabling self-organization and indigenous resilience to combat learned helplessness. The document concludes by stating that New Orleans can serve as a model "prophetic city" through embracing assets, democratizing data, and enabling horizontal connections between identity-reinforcing groups.
What can Canada learn from the Big Society
This document summarizes lessons from the British experience with the "Big Society" initiative that could inform policymaking in Canada. It describes the context prior to 2008 when voluntary organizations saw increased resources and mainstreaming in public services. After 2008, funding reductions led to confusion around the "Big Society" goals of decentralization, transparency, and empowering communities. While implementation faced challenges, opportunities remain for grassroots resources, resilience among voluntary groups, new forms of social finance, and technology-enabled social change. Overall, the experience suggests policies need coordination and evidence-based support for voluntary sector capacity as public spending is cut.

Democratic Urbanism & The Healthy City
This document discusses the importance of public participation and democratic urbanism for community health and city planning. It provides examples of how inclusive community engagement processes have led to positive placemaking outcomes, such as transforming derelict areas into active public spaces with gardens and cultural assets. Truly collaborative approaches that involve citizens in decision making from the beginning help address issues of apathy and opposition, build social capital, and create places that reflect community values. In contrast, top-down "smart city" projects and an "orgy of public process" can undermine urban democracy and civic empowerment. When cities leverage culture and citizen ideas, remarkable impacts on people and communities are possible.
Slums challenges, opportunities and social enterprises
The document discusses the importance of food and challenges in ensuring everyone has access to it, such as climate change, land degradation, a growing population, and food price fluctuations. It notes that while governments, NGOs, and private players have been unable to fully address the problem, social enterprises may be able to play a role by freeing up people's time, understanding customer needs, targeting the right segments, influencing communities, tapping existing resources, providing appropriately sized solutions using local materials and knowledge, and creating employment and value.
Supporting Community Action (Burkett) - FCDL Workshop
The document discusses lessons from community development in Australia. It notes the history and context of community development practice in Australia, which differs from other places due to factors like vast distances and urban/rural differences. It introduces the concept of an "ecology of organizing" involving social service organizations, community organizations, and people's organizations all playing different but interconnected roles. An example of addressing financial exclusion illustrates this. Key lessons highlighted include people's organizations being strongest when building from existing relationships and identifying community strengths and assets from the start. While important, people's organizations also need connections to larger organizations and systems to create real change and pathways out of disadvantage.

The True Sharing Economy
Swarm reveals the true sharing economy at a co-listed meetup between Urban Sustainable Community and Decentralized Autonomous Society
Can Organisations of the Urban Poor be Significant Actors in 'building' Socia...
In 2005 Sattherthwaite and D’Cruz made the bold assertion that ‘Perhaps the most significant initiative today in urban areas of Africa and Asia in addressing poverty… is the work of organizations and federations formed and run by the urban poor or homeless’. With growing numbers of NGOs in urban areas, as well as pressure on governments to increase citizen involvement in decision-making, large-scale Organisations of the Urban Poor (OUPs) are becoming recognised as potentially important civil society actors in urban decision-making and implementation. Urban poor federations such as Slum Dwellers International (SDI) have spread rapidly through the developing world, while at the same time NGOs have begun supporting umbrella groups as longer-term representatives of the urban poor.
In Kisumu (one of the fastest growing cities in Kenya and focus of the 2007 post-election violence), both SDI and NGO supported groups are operating in several wards of the city, attempting to perform similar functions of representation and coordination in the community. However, there are differences both in their supporting organisations, and in the way the groups themselves are structured and function internally. For example, while NGO supported groups may be seen as less antagonistic, and therefore perhaps better able to connect to local state actors, they may also be more constrained by the same overarching structures of donor aid and financing that has been found to limit the NGOs which support them. So how representative are they? Do they increase solidarity? And how do they influence, or are they influenced by external actors? This paper presents early findings from research into the Horizontal and Vertical Social Capital of SDI and NGO supported umbrella groups in Kisumu in order to understand how effective these groups are in their intended role as bridges between external partners and the community.
Into the wild: research 'impact' and the curious world of public policy
This document summarizes research on the high street and efforts to impact public policy. It discusses 3 case studies: 1) how knowledge about skills for sustainable communities was ignored by governments, 2) how the "big society" narrative undermined community development knowledge, and 3) how research on food banks and welfare reform is consistently ignored. It reflects on challenges of impact including losing control of the research narrative, policy preferences determining research agendas, differing definitions of impact between researchers and policymakers, and impact being more about self-presentation than influence. It proposes an agenda for impact that sees impact as provisional, challenges canonical knowledge, is inclusive of participant views, and disturbs rather than just reinforces the status quo.

The document discusses how non-profits can use digital campaigns and online engagement to challenge stereotypes, empower people, attract funding, and bring attention to issues. It notes that adoption of technologies is accelerating, with many older Australians now using smartphones, tablets, and engaging online. Non-profits that assume older people are not active online risk missing opportunities or creating barriers. Effective online tools and tactics for non-profits include visual storytelling, user-generated content, media relations and blogger outreach.
Environment urbanizationbrief –-26
This summary describes the work of the Asian Coalition for Community Action (ACCA), which supports community-driven slum upgrading in over 165 cities across 19 Asian nations. ACCA provides small grants for community organizations to fund local improvement projects, which helps build partnerships with local governments and establishes city-wide development funds controlled by community groups. This illustrates an alternative financing system where urban poor communities have decision-making power over funding and aims to demonstrate that slum upgrading can occur at large scale through community-led initiatives.

ORafferty - Individual & collective behaviour change - SEAI / IRC
This document discusses approaches to influencing human behavior for sustainability. It notes that existing policies have had limited success due to piecemeal, individualistic interventions. Effective approaches recognize that decision-making is contextual and social. The document advocates designing policies and services based on actual human behaviors rather than assumptions. It suggests making behaviors the default and framing messages correctly. The document argues for focusing on collective behavior through community-level initiatives that build capacity, agency, participation and empowerment. An iterative process of discovery, learning and adaptation using multiple models of organization is recommended to spark innovation at individual and community levels.
IUPP Overview
The document discusses the Institute for Urban Public Policy and its goal of connecting research, policy, and practice to empower people stuck in generational poverty. It argues that most social programs operate under a "charity assumption" that people cannot help themselves, which has a negative impact and fails to empower people. Instead, work should transition to economic development and the assumption that people can liberate themselves when empowered. The policy agenda is to move from social services to economic development by providing real economic opportunities to achieve self-sufficiency and grow the local economy.

This document summarizes the keynote speech by Jenna Nicholas at the 28th international learning event of the ethical business building the future organization on rethinking the governance of organizations from May 17-20, 2018 in Geneva. The speech discussed the need to develop new generations of leaders aware of interdependence between financial resources and sustainable development. It also highlighted ideas around moving away from elite-driven decision making and reexamining structures that contribute to exclusion. Examples of impact experiences in West Virginia, Oakland, and hurricane recovery in Houston were provided.Urban Pollinators: who we are, what we do, how we can help you
Urban Pollinators aims to create better places through sharing knowledge and ideas. They do this through writing, research, speaking, and facilitation on topics like regeneration, town centers, the natural environment, and placemaking. Their work challenges conventional wisdom and puts people and community at the center. They have inspired new thinking on issues like the future of the high street and how communities can care for local assets.
Civic Engagement Today - Strengths, Limits, Opportunities
Slides on the need to move from temporary, issue-driven public engagement efforts to stronger civic infrastructure
Introducing Edgeryders
This document discusses how those trying to solve systemic problems and crises are often looking in the wrong places and asking the wrong questions. It notes that innovative responses often come from "the edge" rather than the center, where most resources and established organizations are located. The document introduces Edgeryders as an organization that works with a global community to harness collective intelligence and help clients address complex challenges in new ways through an "open consultancy" model rather than traditional consulting.
Philanthropy and Civic Identity
1) The document discusses the role of philanthropy in driving civic identity and engagement, especially in the context of austerity and growing prominence of cities.
2) It explores the history of modern philanthropy and its focus on addressing urban poverty through research, understanding local needs, and working with local communities.
3) Key challenges of civic philanthropy are discussed, including its limited funding compared to government, issues of democratic legitimacy and accountability, concerns over power and inequality, and defining a sense of place and community.
Brochure community transformation
The document discusses how communities are changing through gentrification, urban decline, and shifts in population characteristics. It raises questions for organizations about whether their services and donors will still be relevant to the evolving community. The organization needs to ensure its board represents the community, including new residents. The board should get out into the community, listen to residents, and identify common ground and new areas for services or collaborations to maintain engagement as the community transforms.
Hank Feinberg Community Service Presentation at APCUG
This document provides information about the APCUG Community Service Campaign Kickoff. It discusses how user groups can partner with the National Cristina Foundation to start community service programs that refurbish and donate computers. User groups are encouraged to reach out to their local communities to identify needs and potential recipients of donated computers. The document provides templates, checklists and other resources to help user groups implement community service initiatives. It also shares examples of requests received by the National Cristina Foundation seeking donated computers.
A 21st Century Commons: from economic tragedy to reclaiming the streets
This presentation, for the Shared Assets '21st Century Commons' event in London on 5 December, explores current thinking about the commons and considers how it challenges conventional views of urban regeneration and development.
Turning Outward: Building Emotional Attachment
The document discusses how to rebuild emotional attachment to public schools in communities. It argues that focusing only on rational factors like measurable results and cost efficiency reinforces the view of schools as commercial enterprises. Instead, communities emotionally support organizations they feel welcome in, are proud of, and have influence over. The document outlines trends like declining young families and engaged taxpayers that erode this attachment, and proposes responding by thinking of community first, embracing reinventing schools, challenging narratives, and giving communities more responsibility and relevance.
Centre for social justice presentation
The document discusses asset-based community development and moving away from needs-based approaches. It argues for focusing on community assets like individuals' skills and gifts, local institutions, and physical spaces. An asset map identifies all these resources in a community. The document advocates empowering community members and leaders to solve problems themselves through relationships and taking responsibility rather than relying on outside agencies. It also discusses how to make services and organizations more accountable to the people and communities they serve.

Cormac Russell Ageing Well presentation
The document discusses asset-based community development and empowering seniors. It advocates shifting from a needs-based approach focused on deficiencies to an asset-based approach that recognizes the skills, knowledge, and contributions of community members, including seniors. An asset map created by residents of Ballinacurra Weston, Ireland is presented as an example to catalogue the gifts, talents, and resources of the community that can be leveraged for local development. The document also discusses the importance of inclusion, co-production between community members and agencies, developing local capacity, and empowering citizens rather than treating them as clients.
Liz Richardson - Civil Society Innovation Network 23 Jan 2012
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for greater community involvement in local governance. It notes that meaningful engagement requires public sectors to have deeper trust and understanding of communities, see them as partners rather than problems, and adopt new approaches like deliberative democracy. However, many communities and public sectors still view each other with skepticism and pessimism. The document advocates for managing this relationship by focusing on interests over positions, exploring mutual gains, and supporting community leadership and problem-solving.
Tdm jimena
The document discusses issues with collective knowledge and "hive mind" approaches on the internet. It notes that while aggregation sites can be useful for filtering information, they also risk filtering out alternative perspectives and creating an overly homogenized view. True wisdom comes from balancing collective knowledge with the ideas and expertise of individuals. The best online communities are guided by well-meaning individuals who ask questions to spur discussion while allowing the collective to provide answers.

OBrien disability history 2017
The document discusses the history of disability rights and services in Georgia from the 1970s to the present. It notes that in the 1970s, Georgia was a leader in supported employment and community-based services due to progressive legislation, alliances between advocates and legislators, and federal funding. However, over time incentives shifted to more congregate settings and institutionalization as Medicaid control changed. Georgia now lags behind national averages in integrated employment. The document argues that resistance to change and a persistent attachment to segregation have endured over decades, despite legal actions like the Olmstead decision. Various strategies and individuals that have been effective in advancing disability rights and inclusion are highlighted.
The Digital Social Contract
This document discusses the early history and development of television as a mass medium. It notes that television content initially borrowed from radio, with radio networks and executives helping to establish the first television networks and shape early programming. Government regulation restricted access to television broadcasts, ensuring networks became the dominant gatekeepers. While television grew slowly at first, by the 1950s it had become a ubiquitous part of American homes and culture, homogenizing society and fueling the need for more programming and advertising. This established the foundation and power structure of the television industry that still exists today.
Cipr building online community (19 10 10)(final)
The document discusses how online communities are becoming increasingly important as society moves towards a more networked age. It argues that local governments need to engage with citizens in online spaces, not just expect people to come to them. It suggests that governments can save costs by webcasting meetings and enabling more self-organization and co-production of services among online communities. Local governments need to understand online culture and build relationships online to stay relevant to their communities.

Social Innovation for a Network Society
This document summarizes a conversation on social innovation in building a network society. It discusses the need for new social structures like maverick networks to foster innovation. It also addresses the importance of more effective communication through public consultation and agile policymaking. Failure is seen as necessary for learning and social progress. Small startups like experience platforms and charities can drive social innovation. New forms of storytelling and collaboration hubs are needed to share new ideas and opportunities. The big ideas are new networks, new consultation processes, and new platforms to collaboratively build a network society.

This document discusses how structural changes have led to new attitudes and behaviors among the public. Costs are decreasing to near zero and people now have unprecedented access to information, customization, participation and collaboration. This has shifted people's expectations away from centralized 20th century institutions toward more individual choice and control. Institutions face tensions between preserving their existing models and adapting to these new realities. They must help communities identify meaningful public work and support people's ability to actively contribute, in order to rebuild emotional attachment and shared purpose.
Listening to communities 25.02.11 (FINAL)
The document discusses how virtual spaces can bring communities together and the importance of engaging communities through digital channels. It argues that communities are increasingly communicating online and that local governments need to participate in online conversations to remain relevant and enable co-production of services with communities. Examples of virtual community spaces and tools are provided to illustrate how to facilitate online civic participation and dialogue.
Using Spaces as Platforms for Change
How can the spaces attract people from different backgrounds to feel more connected? How can the spaces help people develop & test activities that are rooted in the strengths & needs of neighbourhood? How can the spaces encourage organisations to collaborate around common causes and create social value for the neighbourhood?

Forming a ‘Mindbank’, modelling informed community in education
The document discusses forming a "Mindbank" which is a personal network of people in one's community who can provide help, advice, and support. It provides examples of how this network functions like a bee swarm to solve problems and make decisions collectively. The Mindbank concept is presented as a way to build community relationships and access resources outside of traditional schools to address social, economic, and environmental issues.
Newcastle on inclusion for children with disabilities
How do you build a bridge between children and young people who are labelled by their disabilities into the centre of community life? How do you build hospitable communities where such bridge building is common place? These are the questions we address in this presentation through the lens of Asset Based Community Development.
Effective communications
Effective communications require understanding people's motivations and values. People are motivated by different values like tradition, status, or ethics. Communications need to match these values and address people's core concerns to influence them. Most people feel listened to if they can air their views, even if the outcome doesn't match their preference. Different communication channels work best depending on people's values. Frontline staff are important for communicating with more tradition-driven residents. Understanding communities' values is key to building trust and engagement during a time of budget pressures and changing approaches.
Contact deckv2 suresh

Los Desafíos Fiscales de Colorado: Su Impacto en St. Vrain
El documento describe los desafíos fiscales que enfrenta el estado de Colorado y su impacto en el distrito escolar de St. Vrain Valley. Los recortes presupuestarios estatales han provocado una reducción de $24 millones en fondos para el distrito en comparación con lo esperado por los votantes. El personal del distrito ha implementado varias medidas de ahorro para estirar cada dólar, pero se enfrenta a la continua presión de mantener la excelencia educativa con menos recursos.

Grassroots St. Vrain
This document summarizes information presented at a meeting of the Grassroots St Vrain organization about Colorado's state budget challenges. It notes that Colorado's population and needs have grown significantly since 2001 while revenues have only slightly increased. This has resulted in cuts to public services like education, healthcare and public safety. The budget problem is described as structural rather than temporary as costs exceed revenues. Options discussed include reducing expenses through further cuts or generating new revenues through taxes, with voters having ultimate say over the state's fiscal future.
Colorado Association of School Boards
Colorado faces an unprecedented budget challenge as costs exceed available revenues. Policymakers must determine how to maintain vital public services while reducing or eliminating non-essential ones, and encourage voters to address these issues. Public attitudes show mixed messages - taxes are not a top concern but trust in government is low. While most agree services are underfunded, voters reject tax increases. Fiscal leadership requires articulating shared goals and priorities, and using resources to achieve them while considering long-term implications. It means more than one-time fixes - it requires generating new revenues, reducing future costs, and building understanding.
Library Development Council Citizen Centric
The document discusses how society is shifting from an institution-centric model to a citizen-centric one due to changes in technology and infrastructure. Three key points:
1) New technologies have increased options and independence for individuals, challenging the traditional limits and control of large institutions.
2) Emerging public attitudes now value choice, self-determination, and participation in communities of interest over limited options and experts deciding for them.
3) Existing institutions must adapt to remain relevant by focusing on solving problems people actually face and supporting individual visions, rather than operating within strict boundaries of time, place and predefined services.
A Citizen Centric World & Schools
Changing public expectations for institutions as we shift from an institution centric to citizen centric society.
