EP23: Cormac Russell on going from what's wrong to what's strong in our communities

Often, in our work of serving communities, we can get caught up with "what's wrong" in the communities and what we can fix for them. Cormac offers a different perspective to instead focus on looking at "what's strong" within these communities so that we can empower them to be at the centre of their own change. Join us on this episode as we chat with the social explorer and renowned thought-leader in asset-based community development, Cormac Russell. Cormac Russell is the Founding Director of Nurture Development, a leading community development and training organisation in Europe that aims to support the proliferation of inclusive, community-driven change.
