A decolonial approach to change

  • Decolonisation helps us identify the ongoing structural violence that has contributed to the systemic crisis that we are facing, a legacy of continuous practices of colonisation that have been inducing trauma and degenerating  ecosystems for generations and generations.
  • By committing ourselves to a decolonial approach, the consortium’s proposal is to accompany communities to heal from the trauma of structural violence (see Regenerative Spiral), in a way that is not through “one size fits all” solutions, but through adaptive processes of change (see Resilience Cycle).
  • This commitment is reinforced by a pattern-based approach where any suggested practices can be adapted, changed or evolved in ways that serve and represent the context of each catalyst, community or organisation.
  • An approach that promotes the co-creation of community catalysation processes, via a place-based design process, the inclusion of the diversity of community voices, and increased participation and accountability.
