A Year of Raising the Village: Week #3 – Share your Strengths!
When planning your next community workshop or event consider local community members as the honoured guest speakers and presenters!
Use your local assets! Consider this "skills auction" concept whereby people donate a day of "teaching a skill" e.g. How to compost or how to use Facebook. This could be extended to become a great family day event. Imagine families of all ages learning how to make honey or birdhouses from someone local in the community. In turn, encourage families to teach and share about one of their passions, talents or gifts. We have seen firsthand how sharing your strengths builds a sense of community – one where every person can see their contribution to the larger!
Village Raising Tip: Go local and use your internal resources!
