Conference and Masterclasses a huge success!

The SACOSS Community Development Conference and associated Masterclasses were a great success. Approximately 50 people took part in the Masterclasses on 20 June and the Conference the next day saw nearly 150 people join the conversation exploring Community Development in a multitude of settings.

You can leave your thoughts and continue the community development conversation at the SACOSS Conference blog site.

Some of the presentations are available on the program webpage.

Some of the best quotes from the day were:

"Communities are made up of relationships, and community development is about strengthening and nurturing relationships, recognising that they are vital to our humanity, and that strong communities, in whatever form (and those forms are changing in front of our eyes), are essential for a sustainable future." – Jim Ife

"Cities are about sharing. You don't drive down the road just on the bitumen that you paid for, or walk down the street only stepping on the pavement that you paid for." - Paul Dowton

"It is me, them and us." - Colin Ball

"They came for a sausage, and ended up changing their world." - Helen Bock

"It is harder to hurt someone if you know their story." - Emma Webb citing Big hArt's company motto

"In the final quarter of 2011 there were more iPhones sold than births - 1 iPhone sold every 4.2 seconds and 1 birth every 4.6 seconds." - Ivo Burum
