Asset-based community development and community organising

An approach that focuses on recognizing and building on the existing strengths, passions, and inherent assets within a community rather than solely on identifying problems. It empowers local people to articulate their own vision and drive change by valuing their individual contributions and making personal invitations for engagement. The work in Barne Barton is highlighted as a "living laboratory" of this approach, emphasizing sustainable, community-owned solutions.
