Description
In The Connected Community, authors Cormac Russell and John McKnight delve into the essence of community, exploring the transformative power of connections between individuals. Drawing from extensive research and real-world examples, they illuminate how grassroots movements and local initiatives can foster resilience and vitality in communities.
The Story
Russell and McKnight challenge the conventional narrative that views communities as mere collections of problems to be solved. Instead, they present a paradigm shift, advocating for a strengths-based approach that recognises and amplifies the inherent assets within communities. Through compelling case studies, they illustrate how ordinary citizens can become catalysts for change, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment.
