Invite to SALT visits in Karnataka

August 22, 2010

Dear Members,

Greetings!

Every community has the capacity to respond to life issues, to envision and to

act. Facilitators of the Constellation discover and reveal strengths which

communities themselves might not realize, by asking appreciative questions. We

call this mode of interaction with communities ‘SALT’: Stimulate, Appreciate,

Listen, Learn and Transfer.

The Constellation and India Competence invite you to participate in a week of

SALT visits from 23-30 October 2010 in North Karnataka, India, to experience

this strengths-based approach. During this week, we would like you to experience

first hand the AIDS response by the people of Koppal district and to explore

with them important lessons.

This approach has been successfully applied all over the world in various

spheres - HIV, TB, Malaria, gender and SRH . In India it has been applied with

youth, PLHIV, MSM, Sex workers, IDUs, truck drivers, people with disabilities

etc.

One week to change our mindset: aren’t we more tended to see what is missing in

our private and professional lives than at appreciating what we have? By

identifying people’s strengths rather than their shortcomings, our visits will

benefit us in our own context.

“I have been personally transformed through these visits: I always thought I

needed more money and more experience to help my country. Now, I realise I

don’t need all this. I can help by supporting local responses and revealing

people’s strengths”, says Zahid from Bangladesh.

Participants will cover their own travel and accommodation costs and a

participation fee of 475 USD (including local travel, meetings costs, lunch and

dinner). More information about the visits in the invitation attached.

Please contact me for further details.

Warm regards,

Rituu
