• Re: change models for community initiatives

  2006-04-11 08:20:09 UTC

  Although our organization does not work in the environmental field, we are very interested in models of change and community engagement. We have recently commissioned some work on models of change to support our work with community groups in the diversity area. While the area of work is different, the models might be of interest. In particular we were looking for a model or models that laid out the different kinds of citizenship engagement and change initiatives, and the links between those initiatives and desired outcomes. The following resources might be helpful.
  
  Pathways to Change: Facilitating the Full Participation of Diversity Groups in Canadian Society http://www.cd.gov.ab.ca/helping_albertans/human_rights/PublicationsNew/D iversityPublications/EFC/P2CBACKGROUND.pdf
  
  Pathways to Change: Facilitating the Full Participation of Diversity Groups in Canadian Society - A Tool for Organizations http://www.cd.gov.ab.ca/helping_albertans/human_rights/PublicationsNew/D iversityPublications/EFC/P2CTOOL.pdf
  
  Another resource that we commissioned lays out logic models for diversity education programs, however I suspect it might be helpful for education programs in other areas. See Diversity Education for Change: A Guide to Planning and Management http://www.cd.gov.ab.ca/helping_albertans/human_rights/PublicationsNew/D iversityPublications/DERP/DivEdTools.pdf
  
  And finally, a very common-sense publication on outcome and logic models is Splash & Ripple: Using Outcomes to Design & Manage Community Activities http://www.cd.gov.ab.ca/helping_albertans/human_rights/PublicationsNew/D iversityPublications/Splash/index.asp
