The opening Keynote at the
Toronto Summer Institute in July, 1996 featured John McKnight who is the
Director of the Community Studies Program at the Centre for Urban Affairs
and Policy Research at Northwestern
University where he
is a professor. John explains how to build communities of capacity. He is
a storyteller, a political philosopher, a prophet and an activist. This
video is a moving talk about building communities where everyone can give
their gifts as citizens. Community building for John McKnight is not a
sentimental journey, but a job to be done by citizens, neighbours,
families and friends. A compliment to the video is the book The Careless
Society. Audience: Everyone involved in moving from a deficiency model,
to a capacity building model - in communities, schools, workplaces, human
services etc.
