Green Party Presentation

Capacity Global will have a stall at the Green Party conference in September. Maria Adebowale, Director and Tola Agboola, Just Cities Youth Group will be giving a presentation entittled: 'We meet here every Tuesday' - Inclusion, Engagement and the Environment .

Presentation Synopsis:
International, National and local policies promote participation both as a right and a tool for improving communities quality of living. However, it is currently accepted to label certain community groups as ‘hard to reach’ (poorer communities, Black, Asian and Ethnic Minorities, Young People). Capacity global challenges this notion, discusses effective ways to engage with communities as well as highlighting benefits of actual engagement and inclusion policies.
