Hi Glenn,
This past weekend I attended the "WATI" or Web Assisted Tobacco
Interventions meeting in Toronto, Canada. Timothy Huerta from the Child and
Family Research Institute at the University of British Columbia presented
some work he is doing to 'map' the WATI community of practice. In the event
that you have not linked with him and that it might lead to some interesting
sharing please feel free to contact me directly at [log in to unmask] for
his email address.

Best ~ Robin Reece

Subject: [CLICK4HP] ARE YOU, OR HAVE YOU, USED A 'DOMAINS' APPROACH TO BUILD
COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT (OR COMMUNITY CAPACITY)?

SECOND CALL.

The 'domains' of empowerment enable communities to better organise
themselves, both socially and structurally, towards gaining more control
of their lives (and health). Empowerment is achieved through strategic
planning to improve each 'domain', where a need has been identified by
the members of a community.  

This is termed the 'domains approach' and has been used to build
empowered communities specifically in projects in Thailand, Canada, New
Zealand, Kyrgyzstan, Australia, the USA and Kenya.

I am compiling a database of the experiences of using the 'DOMAINS'
APPROACH, PARALLEL-TRACKING IN HEALTH PROMOTION AND THE SPIDER-WEB
CONFIGURATION for the visual representation of community empowerment.

I would be very interested to hear from people who have experiences of
using these approaches.

Glenn Laverack.
