How can community development thrive in times of political change, rising inequality, and social division?

Over the past year, IACD members from across Europe have shared powerful insights into how shifting political landscapes — from rising populism and austerity to funding cuts and growing individualism — are impacting our work and our communities. Our last meeting revealed both the deep challenges and the extraordinary resilience, creativity, and solidarity of community development practitioners and communities across Europe.

Now, we’re coming together again for our next gathering:
