Community building for business success dom bortolussi, twg #summerofinnova...Accelerator University
This presentation discusses how building a community can help businesses succeed. It defines community as a group that shares common interests, goals, or characteristics. The presentation argues that communities are important for businesses because they allow for cooperation, sharing of ideas, and finding and retaining talent. It provides tips for building a community, such as hosting events to bring people together around shared interests and using coworking spaces to facilitate interactions. The overall message is that businesses should focus on building communities in order to generate innovation and growth.Have you Tried Volunteering?
Volunteering provides many benefits to both those being helped and those doing the helping. It can give satisfaction from helping others in need, where 1/3 of the world is underfed or starving. Volunteering allows one to gain new skills, contacts, friends, and better career prospects. It also provides mental and physical health benefits like lowering stress and depression while strengthening the immune system. Overall, volunteering is a way to spend time on a cause one feels strongly about and to potentially help others as one may someday need help themselves. The document then provides information on the organization Empowerment International and its work empowering impoverished children in Nicaragua through education.
Materialism- English EA #2
The document discusses how materialism and entertainment have come to dominate holidays and society. It notes how events are staged for viewers' enjoyment and how actors and entertainers make vastly more money than professions like surgeons. It warns that if society continues basing its ideals solely on entertainment, the future will be like the Hunger Games where all that matters is spectacles. It also examines trends of constant access to distractions through technology, the desire to have the latest things, and needing approval on social media to feel good about oneself.
Youth Heart Impact 2011

Digital Sunderland - presentation by Helen Milner
On Thursday 8 December 2016, we hosted an event in Sunderland, in conjunction with the Sunderland Partnership, to discuss the barriers to digital inclusion, decide on the priorities and make pledges to transform Sunderland into a truly digital city.
Societal prosperity
The article discusses societal prosperity in South Sudan and argues that the country's citizens must take responsibility for driving positive change. It notes that while South Sudan faces many problems like ethnic conflicts, unemployment, and poor infrastructure, solutions exist but the population often points fingers or engages in negativity instead of working to address issues. The article urges South Sudan's youth in particular to get involved in initiatives that promote civic education, cultural integration, income generation, and to work together to realize their dream of a beautiful, prosperous future for the nation.
Volunteering
This document discusses the definition and benefits of volunteering. Volunteering is defined as an altruistic activity intended to improve human welfare without financial compensation. Volunteering provides benefits to both volunteers and those served, such as skill development and improved mental well-being. While volunteering has advantages, there are also potential disadvantages like unpaid labor replacing paid jobs or volunteering being done for selfish reasons rather than true altruism. The document also discusses an organization called Animalife that promotes animal welfare and social support through volunteer activities.

Volunteering as Empathic Experience
This document discusses how volunteering can be an empathetic experience. It notes that while more people are volunteering, volunteering in Korea tends to be short-term and focused on human services rather than broader civic issues. True social change comes from cultivating both cognitive and affective empathy through volunteering, which allows people to understand other perspectives and share emotions. The document suggests various ways to structure volunteering opportunities in order to foster empathetic experiences, such as facilitating reflection and discussion about social issues volunteers encounter.

Module 10 ppt (hope for future)
Royce (2015) argues that poverty is caused by power imbalances in society and the economy that favor wealthy elites over the poor. While individuals experience poverty differently, the root causes are social and political-economic structures. To address poverty, policies should empower the poor economically and politically, rather than focusing on individual deficiencies. Desmond (2016) shows that eviction and housing instability have severe psychological and social consequences. A universal housing voucher program, as implemented successfully in other countries, could provide housing stability for low-income families in the U.S. and enable them to invest in education and job skills. Both authors argue for systemic, empowerment-based solutions over individualized approaches to poverty.
A call to action
This document summarizes the key topics and messages of the 1971 papal encyclical Octogesima Adveniens by Pope Paul VI.

This document discusses supported employment for people with disabilities. It argues that work should be prioritized over other activities and supports. It outlines some of the challenges, including outdated policies and a need for continued innovation. Supported employment has shown that people with disabilities can succeed in real paid work when given opportunities. However, governments and services must keep challenging systems and developing new supports to make integration possible.

Malraux anti memoirs
The document summarizes passages from André Malraux's book "The Temptation of the West" about culture, leisure, and the role of sports. It discusses how twenty years ago the Popular Front in France first created a Ministry of Sports and Leisure. However, leisure does not necessarily mean culture. The passage also discusses how in Western culture, the gods are dead but demons remain very much alive. A second passage discusses a conversation Malraux had with Nehru about the Bhagavad Gita and reincarnation. A final passage discusses Christianity's proclamation that the path to the deepest mystery is through love, which is more powerful than death or justice.

We all want to contribute, and we are all necessary to co-create an effective and whole community. I often think of the Australian Aboriginal elders who, when people with disabilities were returned, their names and totems and tribes forgotten, said "We knew something was missing from the Whānau [the whole extended family]." Much of my work lately has been about remembering that we all belong, that we already know each other, and that we each have a mission of contribution to share, which often incorporates rebellion and innovation which, perhaps, can be negotiated within our larger social systems if we can be clear and certain.

Aseet Based Community Developemnt Blackburn and Darwen July 2014
This document provides an overview of an event on asset-based community development. It discusses the ABCD approach, which focuses on identifying and mobilizing a community's existing skills, talents, and resources rather than its needs or deficiencies. The document outlines some of the assets discovered in one neighborhood, including gardeners, bakers, teachers, and more. It emphasizes that ABCD is about starting with what a community already has and connecting individuals, associations, and institutions to create local opportunities and citizen-led initiatives.
Bob Brown Explains Strategic Doing in Flint
Bob Brown, a leader of Strategic Doing at Michigan State, explains how Flint is using this new, agile practice to rebuild devastated neighborhoods. To rebuild these neighborhoods, residents are linking and leveraging assets within their networks. They are not looking for permission. They are not depending on outside resources. They are finding new opportunities by practicing deep collaboration.
Strategic Doing in Flint 2013
Bob Brown of Michigan State University is using Strategic Doing to assemble a core team of leaders to redevelop devastated neighborhoods in Flint, MI. In this presentation, Bob provides background to this work and explains why Strategic Doing works. According to Bob:
"In neighborhoods besieged by complex, wicked problems, Strategic Doing creates hope through the power of taking action with the assets or gifts that we already possess. In that moment when we combine assets we begin to tell a new story of opportunity and possibility. Strategic Doing gives us
the power to change our lives, our neighborhoods, and our communities."
Citizenship, Work & SDS
1. Citizenship, not exclusion or reduced status, should be the goal of welfare systems. Citizenship means equal participation and dignity for all in society.
2. Self-directed support (SDS), which gives individuals control over their support budgets, is key to achieving citizenship for people with disabilities or learning difficulties. SDS has been shown to reduce costs while improving outcomes.
3. Enabling individuals to work through supported employment, micro-enterprises, family jobs, or self-employment can help realize citizenship and contributes to communities, while saving on costs of institutional care or benefits. Communities, not systems, provide innovative solutions.
Innovation for Citizenship
Simon Duffy gave this talk at the University of Vasaa on 23rd May 2014, exploring the different kinds of social innovation that promote citizenship.
14.2-cognitive dissonance and obedience.ppt
This document discusses social psychology concepts related to attitude formation and change, including cognitive dissonance theory. It notes that cognitive dissonance occurs when people hold two contradictory cognitions or beliefs at the same time, creating unpleasant tension that they seek to resolve, such as by changing their attitude. The document also discusses factors that make attitudes most or least resistant to change, as well as methods people use to resolve cognitive dissonance like changing their attitude, increasing consonant elements, or reducing importance of elements. It provides examples of obedience studies by Milgram and conformity research by Asch.
Design principles for a global movement on disability support
1. The document discusses design principles for developing a global movement to advance self-directed support. It outlines challenges such as slow progress, debates over terminology and models, and a lack of consistent pressure on governments.
2. Key design principles for an effective self-directed support system are proposed, including that it be rights-based, person-centered, clear, flexible, easy to use, community-focused, sustainable, and innovative. Groups discuss how these principles apply in their own contexts.
3. Building a global movement requires overcoming challenges like distorted implementation and divided allies. Respecting differences, learning from evidence, building alliances, and working together as citizens are discussed as ways to organize collective intelligence and communities
What personalisation means
This document summarizes a talk given by Dr. Simon Duffy on the topic of personalization. It discusses where the concept of personalization came from, potential reasons to be cynical about it, and reasons for optimism. On the cynical side, it notes that personalization may not be the right term, governments could make people poorer, and bureaucracies and centralized control can undermine personal control over support. However, it also says that personalization has the potential to work well, promote citizenship, be more efficient, and fulfilling if implemented correctly with the right supports. The document concludes that personalization aligns with social work's goals of enabling social justice by empowering others rather than doing for them.

1. Suicide is a major global problem, with a suicide occurring every 40 seconds. In Australia, 370,000 people think about suicide each year, 65,000 attempt suicide, and 2,500 die by suicide annually.

Ed Gillespie, Futerra

The Development of Self-Directed Support in Finland
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.
Exploring Consumer Directed Care
Dr. Simon Duffy gave a talk about exploring consumer directed care and lessons from the UK experience with self-directed support. He has 25 years of experience developing systems of self-directed support and challenging injustice. Some key points from his talk include that the benefits of self-directed support come from empowering citizens and communities, not from markets or complex plans. Governments and bureaucracies do not innovate, citizens and community leaders innovate. Real expertise comes from those with lived experience, not outside consultants. Self-directed support requires empowering individuals, not relying on middle management. Its goal should be to make citizenship real by promoting freedom, community, and dignity.
Social Sciences Perspective for Social Work I
This document discusses social sciences perspectives relevant for social work. It covers how sociology, psychology, economics, history, and political science relate to social work. For each subject, it provides around 10 examples of how concepts from that field help inform social work practices. It also discusses society and community, the process of socialization, and the key agents involved in socializing individuals. Finally, it outlines factors that can contribute to the development of self.
Citizenship in Practice
Dr Simon Duffy talked to folk at TMG Wisconsin about the importance of the idea of equal citizenship for all and what this means in practice. He explored best practice in self-directed support and how to help people advance their own citizenship through the use of the keys to citizenship.
SDS & Work
1. The document discusses the goal of citizenship and how communities can embrace differences through equalizing.
2. It argues that work is essential to citizenship and can take many forms, including employment, self-employment, and unpaid work.
3. New options for employment are emerging through self-directed support systems and a shift away from traditional day programs.
4. However, current policies around welfare and disability support are described as "crazy" and punitive, with calls for exploring new approaches centered around basic income and local innovation.

Ever ask yourself "What if?" when it comes to your volunteer program? What if you stepped outside your comfort zone and took more risks and reached for the big, hairy, audacious goals that you dream about? It's time these daydreams became a reality!
Inspired by the Case Foundation's Be Fearless campaign to encourage a more fearless approach to creating lasting change, the July 2013 Nonprofit Insights webinar was about trying things that are out of our comfort zone, being fearless and dreaming big – with your volunteer engagement.
Sarah Koch, Case Foundation Director of Social Innovation shared the key values of the Case Foundation's Be Fearless campaign, which focuses on igniting a more fearless approach to changemaking. Featured panelists explored how their organizations have stepped away from traditional ways of engaging volunteers, and how this has helped them develop new approaches to tackling some of the social sector's toughest challenges.

Networked Energy: Energy independence for Alderney
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.
Supermarket Local currency and UBI
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
Making Rights Real
This document discusses key issues in disability and aged care systems and proposes ways to advance citizenship rights through self-directed support. It advocates for personal budgets and upstream solutions to prevent crises. It also highlights the need for innovation from communities, professionals, and individuals to develop sustainable and inclusive systems that respect people's freedom, support, participation, and citizenship.
Profiting from Hunger
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.

UBI and Homelessness
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.

The Case for UBI (and Services!)
These slides are from a talk Dr Simon Duffy of Citizen Network gave to Café Economique in Leeds, making the case for basic income.

This talk preceded a (rather fiery) debate with Anna Coote of NEF who argued against UBI.
