Just and Lasting Change: When Communities Own Their Futures

Describes the SEED-SCALE approach to social change, emphasizing community ownership and sustainable development. It outlines a framework involving four principles (building from success, three-way partnerships, evidence-based decisions, and behavior change) and seven tasks for community action. The texts present various case studies from around the world, including public health initiatives in China and India, urban planning in Brazil, conservation efforts in Tibet and the Adirondacks, and the Green Bay Packers as a model of community-owned enterprise. The sources highlight the importance of human energy as a universal currency for change, advocating for bottom-up approaches supported by top-down and outside-in partners to achieve lasting, qualitative improvements in people's lives and environments.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Just-Lasting-Change-Communities-Futures/dp/1421419475?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=18b9de7ebb5ddf82384e8c904fb1324d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by Podcai Studio:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
