Strengthening our territory of life

Guidance from communities for communities

You are invited to embark on a self-strengthening journey, a process of reflection, discussion, and action that you can define and shape according to your needs and the aspirations of your community.

The process consists of 7 self-strengthening elements, each with guiding questions, tools and examples. The elements do not need to be followed ‘in order’ and can be taken up and adapted to fit your context, as determined by your community.

The Meanings and Resources space comprises an illustration of key concepts, suggestions for facilitators and additional methods and tools.

The main method for the self-strengthening process are ‘grassroots discussions’. Download reminders for the facilitation team here.

The pathbreaking experience of the Kawawana territory of life has inspired the development of this Guidance. Read more about it here!
