Community Development Champions! Where is your most powerful work happening?
The world feels chaotic—from climate disasters to stark inequality—but we know Community Development can make a difference. We're getting ready for the World Community Development Conference and we want to showcase your work on the ground.
Our Global Call for Abstracts is OPEN!

• Change: What new, resilient, and co-created approaches are you using to build a better future? Share your innovative ideas and solutions!
• Collective Action: What are your best examples of community development and mobilisation that lead to collective justice? Demonstrate the power of solidarity!
This is your chance to share your work with a global audience.
