** High Priority **
Hi,
I'm looking for a very broad definition of Community Development having come up against criticism that it in itself is exclusionary by focusing on those who are disadvantaged or marginalised. We are arguing that it is an inclusive approach working with the whole community, however those most excluded may need more intervention/facilitation to develop the capacity to actively engage in the process.
Does anyone know of a specific definition which says something roughly like this?
Kind regards
