CDAS Conference - COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT – NOW MORE THAN EVER? - 21/09/2010

Empowering communities to respond to the challenges facing public services

The empowerment of communities is vital to delivering outcomes that improve the quality of our lives. If we do not promote it, it will not only be harder but also more expensive to achieve those outcomes. People from a wide range of political perspectives believe that this is true.

What has to be done to help communities play an effective role, and where is that support to come from?  This conference will look at:

  • the scale of the challenge
  • when and how communities can help to deliver or ‘co-produce’ outcomes
  • how community development is needed more than ever to help to make this possible
  • who should be involved and how different sectors can be brought together and supported. 

The conference should appeal to a wide range of people, across the community, voluntary, public and private sectors, who are directly involved in strengthening communities or who want to understand how their contribution to outcomes could be made more effective.
