Participants getting set for the Bali, Indonesia Practice Exchange

Only two weeks to go until IACD’s latest Practice Exchange Study Trip takes place to Bali. IACD Practice Exchanges are an opportunity to participate in an inspiring two weeks with up to 20 other community developers from around the world, together with local practitioners and activists and to visit community development projects in the local country.  In 2018 we are partnering with IACD, Five Pillar Foundation and Real Indonesia on the theme of Sustaining Indigenous Wisdom & Cultures. Five Pillar Foundation is a registered Indonesian NGO based in Bali, Indonesia that aims position local Balinese communities to protect and preserve their culture and environment using an assets-based approach to community development. Real Indonesia is an Australian company that connects curious, conscious travellers to authentic travel experiences beyond the tourist strips of Bali while supporting sustainable tourism and local economic development throughout the Indonesian archipelago. The group facilitator for the Practice Exchange is the IACD President, Paul Lachapelle
