Since 9th January 2026, SPPA members met on WhatsApp between 2 pm and 6 pm each Friday to reflect on their week, using the charter as inspiration.
Members shared valuable resources, which we would like to pass on to you all!
- Shifting power away from top-down to “centre-out” in groups and societies – John Paul Lederach; Building Peace – Sustainable Reconciliation in Divided Societies
- For some really practical and hopeful reading, check out the latest on Relational Service Design, which focuses on enabling systems to be less transactional and embrace the complexity of human beings – https://www.relationalservicedesign.com/
- For those who are “Questioning Social Pedagogy – Progressive Intervention or Cultural Colonialism” by Brian Belton, access the book to find out more (currently only accessible on Amazon)
- For more inspiration on a decolonial perspective, access “Whose culture has capital? – A summary of community cultural wealth“
