Episode 5: Learning From Our Mistakes

from Society Builders · host Duane Varan

This episode continues the theme of reflection from episode 4. Where episode 4 celebrated our victories of the past 25 years, this episode explores some of our potential mistakes. The episode focuses on four possible mistakes: allowing our sense of focus to exclude other vital community functions; rigid approaches to the needs of the Plans; insufficient regard for the needs of those less engaged; and a lack of scientific analysis in our study and reflection of initiatives. The episode concludes with a special appeal to those who still feel hurt by such mistakes, inviting them to re-engage.
