to experience the world
differently. Our habits, our
work, our homes and our
social circles change colour
and shape. These changes
offer us, as community engagement
practitioners, an

of bridging our relationships
with ourselves, with others
and with our environments.

work of evolving

practice using methods that
honour people’s individual and collective knowledge about their lives and
their environments.
