Inclusion: theory and practice : Children, Disability and Development - Achievement and Challenge. Contents
A Save the Children Fund global seminar to learn from experience and maximise impact - Extract from Conference Report - April 13th - 22nd 1994
Facilitators: Pam Zinkin and Mamonyane Mohale
Summary:
This session began with a role play
demonstrating some of the pitfalls of certain interpretations of 'community
participation'. Participants' experiences of community participation
included:
Positive experiences: identification of real needs and real solutions, appropriate levels of responsibility, appropriate use of local resources, sustainability, empowerment and self-esteem, attitude-change and acceptance of disability, government acceptance and foreigners' withdrawal.
Negative experiences: differing needs leading to conflict, very time-consuming, tokenism, role of foreign experts and academics, lack of feedback following research and evaluation.
