This uniquely illustrated handbook will find a wide audience
ranging from social work and community development students to
beginner social service practitioners and micro-level development
professionals working with communities especially in the Southern
African context. An experienced team of authors unpacks the
definition that people-centred community practice is a change and
management process. This process is facilitated with a community of
people to take action to increasingly actualise their fundamental
human needs to enhance the quality of their own lives and those of
the wider community that they are part of. The bookâs
people-centred and assets/strengths-based approach to community
practice is consistent with fundamental social work values. This
approach ensures that even beginners would work with communities in
a respectful way so that communities would not be imposed upon or
disempowered in the process. Since the approach is strongly
grounded in theory, this equips facilitators with the basic
knowledge to approach any community and facilitate any potential
project. The authors, as tertiary educators, researchers and
facilitators, have harvested richly from their engagement with
students, colleagues and communities to write this user friendly
textbook.
