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.
