Cormac Russell talks Asset Based Community Development (ABCD)

Watch renowned speaker Cormac Russell's energetic, inspiring and passionate presentation on Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) at the ONE Community Conference 2014.

[BobJones-uubl]

Cormac at his best - a voice of sanity and compassion in a difficult world. Should be seen by everyone who wants to know what's gone wrong. Should be compulsory for every councillor, activist, council officer, politician, decision-maker, philanthropist, budget holder, do-gooder, funder, policy maker, service provider, post holder ... "If we don't figure this out, we become part of the problem".

BIG UP to you Cormac, in this quest. The past certainly doesn't equal the future and it's a brighter future when the 'system' stops profiting out of telling people there's something 'wrong' with them.

What can grow out of more focus on ability to change?

Yes, let's make the neglect of human ability 'The Great Escape'
