Thank you, Dragos Simandan, for these links!

Thank you, Michael, for sharing your vision and links.

I found this really interesting. Community development as a positive response to reaffirm agency and solidarity. Talks also about the danger of conflating community and place.

Thank you, Darren, for the reference and comments to it. 

In this article we talk about teaching community development with social and community students including indigenous populations.

Thank you, Robyn, for the reference

This paper may be useful, I am teaching the course, but I will find time and arrange the materials together and forward to you when  I am a bit disposed

Thank you, Chris-Valentine. I am looking forward!

Hello Tetyana, hello everybody, what a coincidence: me, too, was looking for material about community development, when I came across your request, Tetyana. Next time we meet we should exchange our experiences.

Thanks to the providers of articles.

Greetings from Germany, Ute

Thanks, Ute, for comments. Yes, people around the globe are often doing similar work

Hi, I'm currently engaged in a community cohesion/ community tension monitoring project. Would this be the sort of area you are interested in?

Martin, does the project look on how community cohesion can be built/developed?

Hi Tetyana,

I've utilised  as a starter 'Understanding and monitoring tension and conflict in local communities' fore worded by Sir Hugh Orde and Professor Ted Cantle, the web link to the document is:

http://www.tedcantle.co.uk/publications/033%20Tension%20monitoring%20guidance%20iCoCo%202010.pdf

The project is called 'The Grey Space Group'.

Taking cognisance of a number of areas of UK legislation, and strategic driving documents the membership has been specifically broad, and now includes the Catholic Church; Church of Scotland; local mosque; Buddhist community; West of Scotland Racial Equality Council; LGBT+; Polish community; West College Scotland; University of West of Scotland (including corporate and student body and academic research staff); the 'I Am Me' Disability awareness charity; NHS; and both Renfrewshire and Inverclyde local authorities.

A bespoke analytical product has been created, and is now driving the business the group discusses. 

Terms of reference for the Group have now been approved, with it acting as: 

·         a forum for inter community discussion in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde and a support mechanism for other members in the event of a significant crisis incident that may impact on their community;

·         a mechanism to cascade, within their communities, useful information and materials which the police or local authorise provide from time to time;

·         a forum for members to provide an update on changes to the composition of their communities, and likely impacts this might bring to other communities within Renfrewshire and Inverclyde.

·         an outreach body to newly established or hard to reach/ engage communities within Renfrewshire and Inverclyde.

The partnership is expected to help develop good relations between different communities by encouraging mutually supportive and positive attitudes.  It will also help to monitor the ‘Community Temperature’ i.e. potential for community tensions enabling a timely police response. 

We're in discussions with a number of interested parties, including academics, at taking the work of the group and its potential benefits further.

I hope this information is useful - if I can assist further just let me know. Similarly, I'd be very interested in your future research in this area.

Kind Regards,

Martin

Than you, Martin, for sharing your experience. All these activities are new for my country - Ukraine where strong vertical, hierarchical relations have been preserved from the Soviet times.

A great example and here in NZ community development practice is strong as well. The article I recommended outlines that and if you check that and the special issue it is you will see the principles and key elements of community development.

You may pick up some ideas from this publication

Thank you. I will

Thinking about broad community development approaches you may also find these resources helpful.

Thank you, Robyn!

Good luck with your research.
