"Capacity building is NOT about a training workshop. Building real capacity can be achieved when a combination of methods is used including supporting the practitioner within the organisation. This community based research project focussed on listening and learning from community practitioners, on what they are already doing well and their capacity needs."

Sustainability? What is that!

Please watch this 20minute clip and we'll conitue our debate...

One might find that the learned elites may actually become the poor in the not too distant future. They are the ones who know what it truly means to live a one-planet existence.
