In order to achieve community-based social inclusion that protects all people from loneliness, isolation, exclusion, and friction, and to promote healthy and cultural lives through supports each other as members of society, effective tools are needed for starting the initiative.

Japanese Society for Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities (JSRPD) has developed a training program named “Let’s Collaborate!” to address the diverse needs of the community by the concept of community-based inclusive development (CBID) initiated by WHO.

About the training

Objectives

  1. To know the diverse needs of the community (and individuals).
  2. To know the limits of what a single organization can support.
  3. To understand the existing possibilities for connecting in the communities.
  4. To learn the effectiveness of approaching to the community instead of proving direct support only for people who are in need.

Targets of the CBID training program

We look forward to the participation of people from all walks of life involved in community development and more.

Reflection and effectiveness

  • You could design themes of reflection according to local and participant contexts.
  • The reflections will provide participants with the opportunity to:
    • Develop an understanding of CBID using the CBR matrix and the twin-track approach which is in the base of “Let’s collaborate”.
    • Consider the formation of multisectoral collaboration and local networks
    • Reflect on their future careers if participants are students.

Participant’s Comments

  • I was able to find specific issues and their supports by discussing in a team, whereas I had a narrow viewpoint when thinking of supports.
  • I learned that the importance to determine priorities within limited resources from discussion.
