Our 2019 PRACTICE EXCHANGE IS IN SCOTLAND.
Following the June World Community Development Conference, we are organising a mini Practice Exchange field trip to the East Of Scotland 27-30 June. Following the main conference, delegates will have the opportunity to take part in a themed learning journey to see community development in action in the east coast of Scotland. This will enable a deeper understanding of the context and practice of community development in rural and urban settings in Dundee and neighbouring areas.

IACD’S 2018 PRACTICE EXCHANGE WAS IN BALI, INDONESIA
We partnered with IACD, Five Pillar Foundation and Real Indonesia on the theme of Sustaining Indigenous Wisdom & Cultures.
The 2017 Practice Exchange was in San Pedro de Atacama de Chile.
“Andean – Amazonian knowledge and ancestral practices in agricultural systems: potential and challenges”
The 2016 Practice Exchange was in India and Nepal.
The theme of these was around the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Sustainable Communities: integrating social, economic, environmental and cultural aspects of community-led development. And our partner was the Pan Himalayan Grassroots Development Foundation.
IACD Practice Exchanges engage between half a dozen to 20 practitioners working in the field of community development, researchers, indigenous leaders and representatives of civil society as well as community development experts, with a particular interest/expertise in the theme of the visit. Since 2016 we have tried to focus around themes related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
