What is community weaving In the practice of Community Weaving, individuals learn from Master Weavers who share their experiences and instruct them in the utilization of tools, techniques, and technology to cultivate their own social support networks within various spheres such as schools, neighborhoods, organizations, and businesses. Like-minded individuals, termed Good Neighbors, collaborate to establish shared resources such as furniture warehouses, childcare cooperatives, clothing exchanges, and community gardens. Additionally, they organize recreational activities like rafting trips, campouts, ropes courses, barbecues, softball games, paintball competitions, and vision quests. Furthermore, Community Weaving facilitates community improvement initiatives through the application of FSN technology, spearheading endeavors such as the closure of problematic venues, disaster response, establishment of neighborhood watch programs, fundraising for beautification projects, revitalization efforts, and the incubation of new businesses. To support these endeavors, local organizations such as the American Red Cross, Public Health Department, schools, faith leaders, businesses, and various civic, social service, and youth organizations are enlisted as FSN Partners. They provide essential resources such as free space for activities, access to speakers and educational materials, and complimentary trainings for FSN volunteers. FSN partners are equipped with the necessary training as Community Weavers, enabling them to effectively leverage the resources of the FSN to better address the needs of their clients. #communitydevelopment #educationalleadership #healthcare

In today's conversations about supporting and empowering young people, we often hear phrases like "placing young people at the center." But what does that really mean, and why is it hard to do? Firstly, it means being open to understanding young people, changing how we usually do things. We need the courage to listen to them, let them share what's on their minds and hearts, and be honest about what we can and can not do. Including young people in decision-making and codesign is vital. It's about moving beyond hearing them to working together to create solutions. This way, they actively contribute to the results. Taking time to slow down and truly connect with young people helps us understand their challenges, dreams and aspirations better. Being open about our progress and limitations with young people builds trust. Lets also consider the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. By focusing on strengths rather than deficits, we empower young people, to take ownership of initiatives, develop their leadership and thrive. Putting young people first isn't just a saying—it's a call to action. Understanding these phrases helps us genuinely connect with young people. If we can't commit genuinely, it's better not to use such expressions. By working together with them through codesign, ABCD and other creative ways, we empower them to shape their communities, schools, society, and, most importantly, create a better future for themselves. This February, we invite you to join our Lens on Strengths training at Youth Action NSW with our host Dimitrios Papalexis and guest speaker Natalie Chiappazzo —an opportunity to explore the challenges and enhance the positive aspects of working with young people, fostering a more authentic, resilient and resourceful community.

Sharing this post on behalf of the LD transformation project, is anyone is interested in contributing to this research project. If you are let me know and I can forward your details. Background to the project We want to know people’s burning questions and their experiences around transitions from children’s to adults’ social care support. This can help us find important areas to research in order to inform and develop transitions in Wales. This project is being run by Social Care Wales. Social Care Wales is a Welsh Government Sponsored Body. We lead research, workforce development, improvement, innovation and workforce regulation in social care for Wales. This exercise is part of our work to promote the use of evidence in social care in Wales. Purpose of the discussion We are launching a survey to gather questions and experiences about transitions from children’s to adults’ social care support. But we know that not everyone will want to or be able to complete a survey, and some may find it easier to share their views and experiences in a conversation.
