Advantaged Thinking Webinar
Co-hosted by Northside Partnership and Dublin Northwest Partnership
Date: Thursday 26th September 2024
Time: 11.00am – 12.00pm
Location: Online via Zoom
To celebrate Local Development Week, Dublin Northwest Partnership & Northside Partnership invite you to Advantaged Thinking Webinar.
Advantaged Thinking (AT) is a practice approach which was first developed by Colin Falconer, in 2011, when part of the UK youth charity, The Foyer Federation. It represents a shift in the way we think about and respond to people experiencing disadvantage. It challenges us to move away from a deficit, disadvantaged or problem-focused lens and recognise that all people have a vital contribution to make to the social, cultural and economic life of our communities and society.
As a primary goal, Advantaged Thinking seeks to reframe how the government and community sectors invest in people, and how employers and the community see people and their capacity to contribute. It calls upon us to re-direct investment into building the abilities of individuals and communities, thus enabling them for both personal and societal good.
