Asset-Based Community Workshop in London, March 13 & 14 2019

This is the workshop you need to attend if you are involved with communities. It is the ABCD you need to promote Citizen Participation at a neighbourhood level. It is a two day workshop, hosted by Cormac Russell, exploring asset Based Community Development and Sarah Burns (Head of Communities) from Croydon Voluntary Action.

If you are not familiar with Cormac Russell, watch this amazing video of him where he explained how we can support community by helping each one of their members how special each of them are.

I was first introduced to the ABCD programme by a colleague of mine called Deana Wildgoose she run the Hero Project CIC where they empower communities with tools so they can reach their dr

" Nurture Development have mentored Croydon Voluntary Action (CVA) in Asset Based Community Development since early 2011. CVA have gained a wealth of local community building stories to share and are now delighted to partner with Nurture Development to offer a UK wide programme of accredited training for citizens, practitioners and agency leaders. This new training programme will start with a two-day workshop, hosted by Cormac Russell, exploring Asset Based Community Development." - Sarah Burns (Head of Communities), Croydon Voluntary Action

My name is Marie Lefebvre. I  am writing because I want to come to your Asset-Based Community Development Workshop. 

I will be bold. I want a ''free'' place. 

Our community group - Leicester Fixers - nor myself can possibly afford £200. However, I know it will be valuable for our scheme.

I run Leicester Fixers, a community of amateur repairers who want to inspire people to use their gifts to fix their surrounding environment. I organise with a mere £1800 a Green Festival of Making and Mending which welcomed 600 people plus a serie of events throughout 2015. We ran approximately 25 repair cafes in Leicester. This year, we received a small grant from Leicestershire County Council to create 6 repair groups across Leicestershire. We have already created 5 in less than 6 months. I do not lack the energy for bringing people together. I am still to learn how to make it more financially viable.

It is primordial for us to scan the skills and abilities of our community. If I am aware of the tools available to me to strenghten my skills, it will be easier to recruit, inspire people to share their gifts. I want to do better in helping people to reflect on how special they are and training those around me to become better listeners. Often, people do not feel they are special because they do not make a living out of their skills. We have the issue when we do collaborative events with other organisations that our repair activities are less financially rewarded than food stalls, yet it has tremendous value in connecting people together. It can be demotivating for people to get involved any further. How can we distribute more evenly all assets a community has. How do we unlock some of the assets?

They are so many questions I need to have answer to.

I will ever so grateful if a place is made available for me to come along.

If it is not possible, please keep me on your mailing list, we never know how my situation and the group may evolve in the years to come. I will be for sure trying to come to one of your workshop.

Best wishes

We are delighted to announce this two-day workshop to all ABCD enthusiasts in the Greater London Area and to those working in VCSEs throughout the UK. We are particularly pleased to be offering this along with a wider programme of training with our strategic partners Croydon Voluntary Action. They have demonstrated exemplary commitment to the ABCD principles over the last eight years and have enabled asset based community driven change to take root in many neighbourhoods across Croydon. Together we look forward to demystifying the theory and the practice of Asset-based Community Development and supporting you to deepen your practice and impact.

This workshop will:

• Give you an understanding of the history of ABCD, relating it to your experience of community development.
• Explain the 5 guiding principles of ABCD in both theory and practice.
• Identify the 6 building blocks or assets of community building, exploring how these can be identified, connected and mobilised in the neighbourhood context.
• Share the 8 touch stones of community building, offering stories and examples of their application.
• Identify the ABCD Tools for Change: e.g. Learning Conversations & Asset Mapping.
• Involve you in activities and exercises that you can then use in practice where you live and/or work.
• Use stories and case studies of ABCD in action from our Learning Sites, in the UK and around the world, to highlight effective practice.

What is ABCD?

ABCD invites us to work beyond administrative boundaries and understand that people, their families and communities, have unique competencies that cannot be replaced by competent professional intervention. Since the only people who can build community are the people who live sleep and work there.

The starting point for communities, funders, commissioners, and practitioners isn't necessarily a different one, instead of starting with a focus on what’s wrong, ABCD invites us to start with a focus on what’s strong so that we can use what’s strong to address what’s wrong and make what’s strong even stronger.

That means paying attention to assets that build community connection and power. However, these assets might not always be apparent, in fact, they are often invisible. This workshop will pay attention to the importance of making the invisible visible, offering both underpinning theory and examples of practice.

Projects

Growing up in the performing arts sectors, I have seen theatre professionals shipping projects and plays every year, touring them and closing them for good. What I liked the most while observing the process were the conversations, the questions they asked to one another and the reflection.

With One Question Comes A Great Story - A Story of Change - A Story of Transformation.

Here are some of the questions I asked myself over the years:

• Why do people consume so much when they know that the rest of the world is in a pitiful state?
• How can design support
• What is the role of designers in supporting the transition towards a circular economy?
• What is the role of local government in supporting citizens in their sustainable journey?
• What is the role of grassroots communities in supporting people in reducing their carbon footprint?
• What is the effectiveness of a community-based approach in raising awareness about sexual violence in a set community?
• What can we do better to raise awareness about sexual violence in Black Asian and Minority Ethnic Communities?
• What can we do better as a communicate to support female survivors in both their recovery journey and creative paths?

My work is driven by questions that one seeks to answer through projects.  I am not attached to specific roles and professional affiliations. I am attached to projects and their delivery.

Find below some of the projects I worked on over the year.

1991 - 2005 I acted in short movie production and theatre plays in various venues as a child actor. Major works include Mefiez Vous de La Pierre a Barbe written and directed by Ahmed Madani with the Madani Compagnie which toured at the Festival of Avignon, Theatre de La Tempete, Theatre de La Villette and in venues in Mantes La Jolie. The main question explored through the play was - what happens when you bring second generation immigrant children from various socio-economic background together to deliver a play about the Rwandese Genocide? I was also involved in a second production La Madani Compagnie was a Midsummer of a Night Dream by Shakespeare directed by Ahmed Madani.

2006 - I moved to the UK and my main project was to master the english language. I moved to Northampton and worked my way through in various capacity until I was able to complete a test to prove my english literacy, speaking and listening skills in order to start my undergraduate studies at the University of Northampton.

2007-2009 - I started my marketing studies at the University of Northampton. The main question I wanted to explore: "Why do people consume so much knowing that the rest of the world is in a pitiful state?" Being from a mixed background, stories of colonisation and decolonisation as well as poverty filled our home, so I could never quite understand the drive for more in my counterparts. At the University of Northampton, I led on project trying to influence  management to include as part of the curriculum Sustainable Marketing. At the time, sustainable marketing was yet to become a hot topic, and so our proposal was rejected. It was worth trying. I also led and supported a student-led project called Lost in Translation which won the volunteering student project of the year.

2009-2010 - At the request of my father, I returned in France for a placement year at Le Theatre de La Tempete under the artistic direction of Philippe Adrien as a PR and Communication Assistant. I also worked with Eugenie Bitty to deliver an exhibition for Ivoirian consulate and embassy members at La Maison Houphouet Boigny in Paris celebrating Ivorian culture. That particular year, I visited Ivory Coast and developed relationships with visual artists such as Aboudia and Mr Maé.

2011-2012 After returning to the UK and completing my last year of studies, I started a Mdes Design for Sustainability at Cranfield. I wanted to understand how can design support the transition towards a sustainable system of consumption and production. Marketing was not sufficient in my reflection, I needed to understand how products and services are made. I got involved in a group project aimed to develop a tool to measure sustainable behaviour change in primary schools. The master thesis with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation aimed to answer the following question: What is the role of designers in facilitating the transition towards a circular economy for which I interviewed representative of large organisation such as B&Q, Cisco, and Ikea as well as experts within the field. They all pointed out that ultimately it was in the hand of the consumer to change their behaviour. After this experience, I decided to focus my attention to grassroots entity and local government in driving change. I was also elected as a green officer on the campus that particular year. 

2012-2014 I moved in Leicester. I joined Transition Leicester as a steering group members and supported Footpaths Leicester with facilitating an 8-week course about carbon footprint reduction. I also designed and delivered two workshops about the ethics of money, coordinated Positive Money local Leicester group and run a weekly meeting called Enlightened Thursday. I was working as a customer insight analyst for Melton Borough Council supporting project such as Sure Start and the Universal Credit Pilot. At the time the main question I wanted to answer was: what is the role of local government in supporting behaviour change in citizen? and what is the role of grassroot communities in supporting change? With Footpaths at the time, we started to discuss repair and its role in supporting the transition towards a sustainable system of consumption and production. I was desperate to return to academia to start a doctorate. I started Marlefeed or various iterations of the blog around that particular period.

2014 - 2019  - I started a doctorate in Design for Sustainability asking the question what are the factors influencing prosumers' repair propensity. I also designed and delivered the Green Festival of Making and Mending welcoming 600 people and an 100 volunteers in 2015. I also launched and directed Leicester Fixers with the delivery of repair events and the Leicestershire Outreach Programme. I supported small start-ups such as the Crop Club ad CBD Oil Supply. I delivered a wedding in Paris from the UK with 150 people attending.

2019 Two month prior to submitting my thesis for my viva, I completed a training in asset based community development with Cormac Russell. The experience led me to change the language in my thesis from consumer to prosumer as a mean to highlight the dual nature of a person as both a producer and consumer. Through writing the thesis, i started to reflect on the impacts of poor design on women who had neither the skills nor the financial resources to repair broken items. At that point, I thought that if I were to be employed, I needed to use my skills for possibly one of the worst form of violence. Luckily, a job opening appeared in Leicester that will make the best use of my research skills and my training in asset based community development. Quetzal, a charity supporting female survivors from childhood sexual abuse were looking for a professional with knowledge in asset based community development. It was an ideal job, part-time, 20 minutes with the bicycle from my home and with a trauma-informed organisation. I started to understand the impacts of trauma at both a relational and personal level in the way you achieve the goal as I looked deeper in the topic while preparing from my interview and my viva which happened in the same month. It became clearer to me at that point that my adverse childhood experiences as mixed-race young female had tremendous impacts on my mental health, especially during my doctorate as I felt that I was never good enough. After the climax of receiving my doctorate with minor correction from Loughborough University and my first week at my job where I learnt what is to be a trauma-informed organisation and what is trauma, I had a major withdrawal which led me to write a 8 page long letter to the university to share my experience as a mixed-raced doctoral student. It led eventually to a year of conversation and silence from the university which eventually reawaken when the images of a police officer killing George Floyds appeared. In 2019, as I started to navigate through South Asian Communities in Leicester, I was lucky to be clinically supervised to better understand how the reactions of others impacted on my sense of self and to become more self-assured as my worth as an academic and human-being. I also closed the Leicestershire Community Outreach Programme and went to Berlin for the FixFest.

In 2020, still at Quetzal, I wrote briefs, terms of reference, job description to recruit a team of collaborators to support the delivery of an evaluation for the project, a new brand image, a website, short movies, counselling to south asian female survivors, a self-help guide, and a series of events and communication strategy. In 2020, we delivered the brand new website for Quetzal with the self-help guide and delivered trainings and events to various partners. I also had through the pandemic conversation with Kajal Nisha Patel from Lightseekers about the impacts of poor mental health on day-to-day lives, the tools to support mental health and more. I also started conversation with Eugenie Bitty Arts about collaborating on the delivery of a new exhibition.

In 2021, I became managing director for Lightseekers and worked on the design and delivery of Ways to Wellbeing Programme. I also supported with the delivery of a group exhibition for Eugenie Bitty Arts. I also wrote and delivered Leicester Fixers brand new website and worked with others on our business model. At Quetzal, I collaborated with Nikhil Mistry to deliver the stories of change short movies and social media clips, organised an delivered a webinar event sharing all that we've learnt so far as well as curated and organised exhibition called Quetzal Stories of Change. I also returned to France and directed my father funeral with the support of all my family, a magnificent man of theatre - We ensured to combine his love of theatre, music, singing, beautiful food, arts and dreams together with his friends and family and we made it  a wonderful day. He asked me that he wanted for the end that I'd be his voice, that my brother read a text and that he'd be a sunny day. I can say that all his wishes came true. While in France, my love for theatre, psychoanalysis, dreams grew and had the chance to do further exploration on the question through collaborative work with partners. Who knows what will come next! In 2021, I also delivered a presentation in Sweden about my research and work about repair.

Drip Drip Drip. More projects. There are a few others that are in the soup as we speak. Soon to appear on Marlefeed

Decentered Media Podcast 081 - Dr Marie Lefebvre and Community Solutions to Break the Silence about Childhood Sexual Abuse

Excerpt: Dr Marie Lefebvre from Quetzal on the Decentered Media Podcast discussed with John Coster and Dr Rob Watson Community Solutions for breaking the silence about the trauma of childhood sexual abuse.

Click here to listen the podcast 

Together, on the podcast, we explored how through creative storytelling, each one of us in our own capacity can help in breaking the silence about childhood sexual abuse and empower people to eventually find their voice and contribute to our community and society.

With the extended lockdown happening in Leicester, it is primordial than each of us find ways to communicate valuable information to people that will support their mental and physical health, to empower each one of us with strength to voice our needs and concerns.

At Quetzal, we deliver counselling services to support women in breaking the bars and psychological cages of the trauma of childhood sexual abuse. A part of my job at Quetzal is to raise further awareness about the trauma of childhood sexual abuse and the value of counselling in South Asian communities in Leicester City using a community-based approach through the Breaking the Silence Initiative.

I am hoping by listening to the podcast, you’ll be inspired to share your story, contribute to and subscribe to Quetzal voices.

Together, we can amplify the voice and wishes of the community where every women and men who experienced abuse know that if they need and want to, they can access support.

A Book Nerd Gifts

A community-based approach starts with collecting stories and identifying what are the gifts (skills, abilities, strength and interests) of those we meet and eventually start shaping projects that magnify those gifts and talents.

It is my favourite part of my job to uncover those gifts and then see in the milky way of stars how I can create a constellation and give it a name

I've met a person interested in volunteering for Quetzal. As we spoke, she mentioned that she was a book lover and we could may be create a book club. I thought to myself "How great I could match her with a survivor and poet who've just published a book and we can organise an event together".

It is about taking the time to listen  properly to what people say and be open to the opportunities of something great to happen.

Give it a go. Something magical may happen!

About Marle

Hello. I am Dr Marie Lefebvre. I am a researcher and I do projects. In the last 10 years, my work has been about refining and grasping my purpose, the meaning of my work and mastering my skills as a researcher and project manager. It has also been about trying to offer a different perspective on the role of citizen in facilitating the transition towards a sustainable system of consumption and production, inspire people and guide them in whatever mastery journey they were on.  Here's my full bio.

1. 
   I’d like to find out what we are still learning from the experience of the lockdown, particularly here in Leicester?

From Quetzal perspective, the lockdown taught us what it takes to be a community that is not defined by a set location, what can we do to mobilise our partners, volunteers and collaborators from remote location, what it takes to disseminate information and make it accessible to people who may not have access, what other type of event can we develop that keep ourselves and other safe, what special provision do we need to make to support better some female survivors, that crisis are great opportunity to reach greater level of consciousness and how important is to cre about our mental health, then that media are so important social mnedia local media to share informatiom between people

1. I’d like to know what conversations and discussions people living and working in Leicester had during the lockdown, especially when these conversations started to focus on the idea of Building Back Better?

When the idea of building back Britain better came out, when was that? March 2021, April 2021, my main focus was what tools can we provide to people to support their mental health. Through a trauma informed programme the first steps are stabilisation and regulation if people are in state of shock we need to support them. During the pandemic many people were not equipped with the skills and ability. My other main concern was how do I pass information when the most low tech technology are not accessible or that people are not using Hugh tech technology anymore, how do I create connection when I cannot go physically to different places. My uncle emile viti abi is a writer with a fascination for Malian African empire and he was telling me that if we wanted an information to reach roma just through word of mouth, it will reach it. How do I tell people that we can support them in their journey towards recovery, how do I deal with gatekeepers, individuals who keep their communities shielded.

During the lockdown, my main focus was what can I do to raise awareness about the trauma of childhood sexual abuse in outh Asian communities by not actually being able to be in their physcial location and not even being able to access them directly, the question what can we do to build better community came to mind, it is about connections with people and bhow we engage with them, it is about what w give them, it was also about creating beter stories, coming from them directly, directly from peoplel, the other element it was about care and mental health and giving people the tools to be take care of their mental health better, it iwa also about raising awareness abotu the value of cousnelling and tell family to give privacy people.

1. What does Build Back Better mean in practice for people living and working in a highly multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-racial city?

In practice, it is about identifying people gift talents resources and competences and mobilising them where is needed the most. It is about co-crearion of experience that makes United. It is about also identifying people interest that goes beyond their ethnicity.

I think it is identifying people all as having a gift, a resources, a taleknt ebyond their ethnicity and to treat peopel the way we would like to be treated. South Asian communities what does that mean, asset baased community.

for me is about your strength and expressing the best expression of yourself, your interet, your vising and co-creating with ohers experiences that make us feel united.

1. Is Build Back Better just a slogan, or is there some structure and weight behind it?

Yes, Yes, Yes 
 it does infer some form of duality between better or worse, it is also indicate that something has been created and then eventually brought down when the community does not feel it works not more. Who is qualified to build, it highlight some type of expertise. it i alo a question a criteria that we can use to gauge something we've created, there is some weight behind it inviting us to wonder whether what we did is good or not.Building Back Better (BBB) is a strategy aimed at reducing the risk to the people of nations and communities in the wake of future disasters and shocks.^[1] The BBB approach integrates disaster risk reduction measures into the restoration of physical infrastructure, social systems and shelter, and the revitalization of livelihoods, economies and the environment.^[2]

BBB was first officially described in the United Nations' Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction document, which was agreed on at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction held on March 14–18, 2015, in Sendai, Japan. It was adopted by UN member states as one of four priorities in the Sendai Framework for disaster recovery, risk reduction and sustainable development.^[3] The UN General Assembly adopted this document on June 3, 2015.

For me what is most important is to find balance through greater self-awareness and social awareness. Finding a better balance between our purpose by asking ourselves why we exist and our mission which is what we do. my purpose or the why i exist is to give a different perspective to you on the way I see the world and create with you experiences that unite us, my mission is to create more trauma-informed and sustainable communities in Leicester, am I building something or am I co-creating experiences, some exchange with other people.. why would I want to create more balance between my purpose and my mission so I can give space to other to also expres their best expression and together we can create new experience. Building Back Better there is definitely this element of duality, then there is the weight put on those who are perceive are doing best, the expert and actually when reading the report is what they emphasis upon boosting the industry productivity by inviting the best.

Quetzal raison d'etre is to amplify the voice of survivors and what they do is to supprot them is their journey towards recovery. 

Building back also indicate this idea that once built the job is done, when actually it is a never ending project, what is most important for me is to transcend what we've learnt prior to the pandemic, during the pandemic even now, transcend the community that were too static, and develop new connections.  shall we say intead destroy better. why do we need disaster to build better, shall we not dismantle on the daily basis what we know and give rise to something new. the disaster we've experience gave rise to great things bringing at the centre of the conversation the issue of mental health and domestic violence, forcing us to really pay attention to the way we behave

1. If there is a better term, what is it? it is a great term to create some type of discussion - is there a better term to describe what we are doing. For me it is.Taking over the world - Transcending ones world remains the top for me as it is changing worldviews and there is also this elements of learning because ultimately who can claim that the world is or can be taken over, as you even try to take upon one world, you discover and learn there is milliuons more. I give you an example, when I was task at Quetzal to raise awareness in South Asian communities about the trauma of childhood sexual abuse, trying to take over one world, I was mesmerised by all that I discovered. the proces took over my worldviews and perspective and for this I am grateful

2. Change is at the centre of the Building Back Better ethos, but what kind of change are we talking about?

Isn't it that term came through the UN as a strategy to  reduce the risk to the people of nations and communities in the wake of future disasters and shocks. Isnt it in their report they emphasis on creating a net carbon zero economy, creating more green jobs, boosting the economy, investing in infrastructure skills and innovation. Not sure they changed much from their previous agenda to be perfectly honest. At Quetzal, the main change was to continue our support to female survivors using digital infrastructure so that they have the tools, the space to expres their emotions and feeling and better deal with the impacts of disasters and schock. for me, to know that everyone of us have greater consciousness, understand better how the mind works, how their emotions afffecttheir physiology and also their relationships with others is so significantbecause in the face of disasters, they have the tool to deal with it all. and as a community to have people who are skilled counsellors we also indigeneous practices such as yoga alternative practices such as reflexology and more, all those tools are there to support the mind to cope with dissonant externalities. with a better mind, we can better co-create with other experiences that bring joy, good health. if we are not good in our mind, how can we possibly have good relationships with others. i guess mabe what we building back better is our brain, talking abou neuropklasticity and creating new connections between our experiences and our feelings

1. What is the idea of change associated with Building Back Better based on?

Infrastructure

1. Has this been a practical discussion, or is it just an opportunity for lots more talk? I believe any exchange are practical discussion as long a you are truly ready to take the information in. if you are too full with worries, your brain become like a waterlog ponge, but if otherwise, when i listen to people I am alway ready to jump on the opportunity to create something with them. For me it helps to identify where my focus is and it is signpost people who may have a waterlog brain towards services who helped them deal with the new changes coming through.

2. Are there things that have been adopted and put into practice that point in the direction of practical changes we can make?

At which level? 

1. What have been the reactions to those practices, and are the changes making real and lasting differences?

2. Is there support from colleagues and partners that encourage and enhance these changes? Has anything proven intransigent and too difficult to change? What’s turned out to be the most adaptable things to change?

3. Reflection and examination based on hindsight are necessary and essential things for us to do, especially if we are to learn the lessons of the pandemic.

4. I’m keen to find out what improvements have been brought about, either intentionally or unintentionally, to the way we do things?

5. Many, perhaps naively, expected change to come at a galloping pace, but that’s not how change feels in practice. Change is usually drawn-out and seems slow. Yet when we look back, we realise how much is different given the time that has past, or how far we have travelled.

6. I think it’s essential to explore the positive dynamics of social change, particularly those that can be held as good examples for others to follow in the future.

7. As we start to make decisions, draw-up new policies, and redirect resources, the essential question I have in mind, is how will Building Back Better affect us in our everyday lives, and will we see the results of in our neighbourhoods and communities?

When we chat I’ll try to focus on what your experience has been of doing this, as direct experience is much easier to elaborate and consider.
