The resources are divided into sections: PublicationsIn December 2010 we published What we are learning about community-led development in Aotearoa New Zealand Our regular newsletter follows the community-led development in Aotearoa and shares fresh Learning Links as we come across them.

Our approach to learningInspiring Communities wants to shine a light on the learning: A Spotlight on the learning that occurs in each community of place A Floodlight on the understanding that is developing as we connect learning across these communities A Searchlight on the knowledge this provides as we learn about what works and what has the greatest impact Inspiring Communities is in essence a learning community and as such learning sits at the heart of everything we do. We learn to be inspired and, in turn, to inspire others. Our aim in learning is to discover what "changing for the better" looks like in our communities and how we know when this is happening. "Personal and social transformation do not grow just from ideas, but develop from conscious daily practice and a willingness to go on learning and acquiring new skills. Developing the skills for real community and co-creativity is not easy. Creating projects and taking action are relatively easy, really listening to each other and appreciating each other's differences is not. Sharing leadership and resources is a challenge for most people. |
