ON-IDIS 284 Asset-based Community Development

This course is an introduction to asset-based planning and community design as a human and organization capacity-building approach that seeks to locate, underscore, and emphasize, in a selective way, the life-giving forces and successes within an organization, group or community. The course will focus on different ways of engaging life within communities and organizations, while exploring the skills of community development facilitation for practitioners. Several tools used in asset-based planning and development will be carefully examined with a view to creating proficiency in both their theory and practice.
