Change Process
Look at the various methods and tools available and think how they can be applied creatively. Think about the needs of different stakeholder groups - you may need a methodical mix to address them all. Illustrate graphically how these methods/tools might be applied in a short, medium and long-term perspective.
Concluding reflections
In our landscape challenge we have decided to increase the sense of community in Padma riverbank. In fact we think that the present situation it is the result of a lack of engagement of authorities and locals. The decision’s makers want only their personal profit without the consideration of riverbank as a great resource for the population and the social system. Through workshops, outdoor walkings, common meetings and other type of short term, mid term and long term interventions we want to unveil the community spirit. If there is a strong community probably the government will be convinced to do something like change its previous plan on riverbank and give to the same community the task to take care of their environment. We think that the main difficulty it is the necessity to try to modify the politician’s minds and interest. We hope that an hard work in this direction would improve local's state of things.
